A Short Note from Your Future Lead

Michele Pissarello - Head of Country Italy - 

Hello future colleague,

My name is Michele, and I am the Country Manager for Italy at Entrix. I’m excited to build and grow our Italian team and look forward to receiving your application.

I bring over 15 years of global experience in the energy storage sector, having worked across a range of roles—from technical support and project execution to business development and sales—with companies like Enel, Tesla, and Toshiba. Most recently, I led the Business Development team at Enel, where we developed and executed over 1 GW of storage assets worldwide, both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter.

At Entrix, we’re building something ambitious—a smart, tech-driven platform designed to unlock the full value of battery storage in energy markets. While the Italian market has traditionally been dominated by utilities, upcoming regulatory improvements and support schemes are opening the door for new players. Our mission at Entrix is to help these players realize the full value of battery storage through reliable, bankable solutions.

To achieve this, we need proactive, resourceful individuals who can navigate complexity and translate it into simple, effective solutions for our customers. We’re looking for creative thinkers who take initiative, embrace ownership, and strive to reach ambitious goals.

If you're passionate about transforming ideas into tangible results, tackling real-world challenges, and thriving in a collaborative team, you'll enjoy working with us.

Looking forward to what we’ll create together.

Best regards,
Michele
