GREEN Team

This is the Management Team

GREEN Solar Academy is managed by a powerful team of three solar enthusiasts. Antje and Vivian are the directors and founders, both have been active in the training sector for several years. But we are not alone! Our secret is to have a small, flexible team – with a whole bunch of trainers, experts and managers at our backs when we need them!

Antje has the overview of finances, training and project coordination. She is a great networker and pulls all the strings together. Managing teams, creating work schedules and project outlines, and acquiring capital for ideas are her specialties.

Vivian manages the content and creativity in the company. She is responsible for technical questions and all kinds of content development, which includes the trainings but also extends to the company’s marketing campaigns and GREEnetwork activities.

Amanda joined the team in 2018. She is mainly responsible for the participants and takes care that all who call or email get the information they need. She is a great organiser and takes over big parts of the organisation of the training courses.
