Here we have three strong women that have all played a part in businesses that have aggressively scaled with huge success. We are thrilled to have them support us at this time of continued expansion” said Eva Sóley, Deputy CEO and CFO, atNorth.

The hires showcase atNorth’s enduring commitment to meet the needs of global businesses at a time when cost efficient, sustainable infrastructure is in more demand than ever and highlights their commitment to being the go-to decarbonization platform for today and tomorrow’s global organizations.
