Our Team

Serge Lambermont, Founder

 

Serge Lambermont is a technology expert in Automated Driving Robotics and Vehicle Electrification.  

 

As Aptiv’s Technical Director Automated Driving based in Silicon Valley and Pittsburgh, Serge was responsible for Delphi’s Global automated urban driving technologies and activities. This included urban automated driving technology development and the initiation of the acquisition and integration of Ottomatika, a CMU startup in AD robotics.

​

 

Serge lead the 3500 miles San Francisco to New York City Coast to Coast Automated drive, and Aptiv’s 2015 CES urban driving demos.  

Most recently he has been leading the urban self-driving vehicle development platforms for the Singapore Automated Mobility on Demand (AMoD) Pilot and urban driving activities in Europe.
 
Serge is a creative problem solver in complex technology and business concepts domains,  with vast experience working, motivating and connecting global teams - bridging Silicon Valley start-up culture with the highest-end OEM quality and high-volume requirements.
 

Thomas Walsh, Associate

Thomas Walsh is a Technology Expert with over 15 years of international experience in the advanced electric propulsion, connectivity and safety systems.  Thomas worked both in the high-end passenger vehicle segment (including Volvo BMW, Mercedes and Toyota in Japan), as well as the commercial vehicle segment.

​

Thomas has been responsible for the development of a battery pack and BMS system for a large global NEVS electric vehicle supplier in China.  In this assignment, he became the key technical contact for battery suppliers worldwide. In 2018 Thomas became the technology and business advisor for a new integrated electric drive at Stoba E Systems.  This technology is vital in creating non distributed solutions for all on and off-road vehicles in future.

​

Thomas has also been responsible for a large tier-1 account covering all active safety and power electronics component development for a large China OEM, in electrification and active safety including automated driving.

​

 These assignments have given Thomas a deep insight in key electric drive components in the global market, as well as e-propulsion design for new automated mobility solutions.  He has developed key methodologies to ensure seamless execution of large projects (commercially and technically).
