The Team
We are a small ambitious team working passionately to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our values are the same. We care about the world and want to make an impact. No frills or glamour - just a fierce devotion to the mission.
Kristián Kierulf
Lead designer and co-founder
Kristián has a passion for aircraft and electric mobility and has previously worked with Pipistrel, Equator Aircraft and Ruter on public transport solutions in Oslo. He is an energetic industrial designer with a keen eye for details and focus on user experience. Quike is the brainchild of Kristián and his can-do-attitude inspired us to join the mission.
Sebastian Orskaug
COO and co-founder
Sebastian has a strong sense for adventure and passion for finance and emerging technologies with social impact. He spent a year as a medical doctor on Antarctica putting the Polarbug through its paces.
He is annoyingly well-organised, an attribute stemming directly from his former profession, and his entrepreneurial spirit drew him into the project from the very start.
Tomas Brødreskift
Industrial designer and co-founder
Tomas is an electric aircraft pioneer. His first flight attempt was observed at age five in a cardboard box with wings. In true Silicon Valley fashion he developed two first-of-its-kind electric aircraft from his garage.
His relentless pursuit of sustainable flight has spawned an ecosystem of top engineering talent in Norway working on both electric airplanes and Quikes.
