Pierre-Pascal Urbon

Chairman Instagrid, Board Member VAMO and Solarwatt

Faculty Profile

Pierre-Pascal Urbon is a passionate strategist and entrepreneur who has been shaping companies in the areas of renewable energies and telecommunications for over 20 years. His path began in M&A advisory, where he developed a deep understanding of strategic relationships and complex ECM and M&A transactions and from then on sharpened his nose for corporate development.

At SMA Solar, he put his strategic expertise into practice in an impressive way. He led the company's international expansion, building a strong network of sales companies in over 20 countries and laying the foundation for global growth that can still be felt today. With a clear vision and a keen sense of market changes, he successfully took the group public, relied on strategic alliances and targeted acquisitions in Europe, the USA and China, which raised the company to a completely new level of success.

But Pierre is not only a brilliant strategist, but also a profound change agent. At KOMSA he led a transformation that not only renewed the company structurally but also culturally. By launching the device-as-a-service business, he leveraged KOMSA’s competitive advantages to create a unique product offering, positioning the traditional ICT distributor in the fast-growing services market. Pierre also cultivated a forward-thinking corporate culture, introducing a leadership model focused on self-reflection and continuous improvement. The merger with the British Westcoast group is further evidence of his tireless commitment to creating structures that will last both today and tomorrow.

In addition to his successes in the corporate world, Pierre is committed to being an angel investor, chairman, and board member of high-growth VC companies in the field of renewable energies. With his strategic foresight and his sense of sustainable innovation, he not only promotes the success of individual companies, but also makes a valuable contribution to shaping a sustainable future. Pierre has published various articles on the topics of corporate strategy and transformation.
