IUSTIN TARGOVET
AMSTERDAM
ENGINEERING LEADER
ABOUT

I'm Iustin. I run two engineering teams at Fastned, where we keep a few thousand EV fast-chargers online and the systems behind most of the charging revenue quietly boring.

Before that I was CEO of a startup we later turned into a data and AI consultancy, and CTO of another that is still going after I stepped back for geography reasons.

What I enjoy most is putting together teams and products, and doing the hardest thing I find on my radar every day. Amsterdam is home.
