AILIN HUANG HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY , TIER MOBILITY
Not only has the company cemented its position as a frequent mode of transport for many commuters and travellers in these regions , but its unconventional emergence led TIER to become a climate-neutral e-mobility organisation . In conversation , TIER ’ s Head of Sustainability , Ailin Huang , discussed the truly inspiring story of its founding and how climate action remains a driving force in its continued development .
“ Before founding TIER , our CEO , Lawrence Leuschner , went on an 18-month journey around the world , which allowed him to see the natural devastation from climate change ,” Huang said . “ He was hiking in Patagonia and Argentina and saw first hand what the direct impact was . During his travels , however , he also saw a lot of solutions and opportunities .”
