The One With… the marketplace innovator and why nobody wants another dashboard

Commercial real estate has no shortage of decarbonisation plans. What it lacks is the infrastructure to execute them. Pål Hauff Hvattum, CEO of CQuel, knows this from the inside out — and he's spent the last two years building the solution.  Spun out of Hines Global Ventures with Aroundtown as a second shareholder, CQuel is a tech-enabled implementationplatform for commercial real estate retrofits. Not another dashboard. Not another consultant. A marketplace that connects vetted retrofit suppliers with asset managers who have a decarbonisation plan sitting in a drawer and no clearpath to execution.  Pål brings an unusual perspective: fifteen years building online marketplaces across Europe (including Gumtree), followed by a stint scaling a solar energy marketplace across Europe.
