Time to share a recipe with you 👨🍳👩🍳:
AUDACITY: back in 2017, Elodie Morgan and I went all-in for SpotLight, displaying audacity to launch our company based on a power point idea.
TEAMWORK: Over the past 6 years, we've assembled a remarkable team of SpotLighters, all contributing to the company's growth. Even in the face of setbacks, we've embraced learning and improvements in our recruitment and management processes.
SUPPORT: In SpotLight journey we never walked alone. Throughout these 6 years, we've benefited from the backing of a world-class scientific committee, the guidance of a top-notch board of directors, and the support of a robust ecosystem we've cultivated.
PERSEVERANCE: Implementing a "DeepTech" solution isn't a straightforward path. We've encountered technical failures and triumphs. We've welcomed "early adopters" like OMV, Lundin, Storengy, Conocophillips Canada, Foxtrot, Ineos, Wintershall DEA, ENI, and WhiteCap Resources and others. We've also navigated "early opponents" who posed challenges in other companies.
We overcame the uncertainty of the two COVID years, forging ahead despite the unknown.
HARD WORK: In a startup's early days, being an entrepreneur is a passionate journey filled with challenges. We've put in endless days, multitasking like Swiss army knives, handling everything from R&D to HR and coffee supplies ☕️. This role doesn't come with a manual, so learning on the job and making mistakes were par for the course. We've made our share of errors and have grown from them.
The past 6 years have been the most exhilarating of my professional career, and I cherish the day we embarked on this venture.
I'm now more determined than ever to propel SpotLight into becoming a leading authority in #CCS geological storage monitoring. 🚀
