My guest today is Adam Fudakowski. Adam is the co-founder and CEO at Switchee. Switchee produces the first smart thermostat for affordable housing that helps fight fuel poverty and provides social landlords with remote data insights that cut maintenance costs and improve resident well-being.
Adam is a graduate of both INSEAD and Cambridge University. He is on a mission to serve both landlords and residents by reducing fuel poverty for residents and by helping landlords to provide affordable warm homes.
Some of the areas we cover include:
Why Switchee was started.
How Switchee’s business model benefits all stakeholders in social housing.
How the product gives landlords superpowers to be pro-active with maintenance.
Why they built their own hardware but don’t consider it a USP.
How Switchee handles data privacy to build confidence with residents.
Switchee’s experiences of dealing with investors as a purpose driven company
How Switchee manages culture and maintains its values.
How Switchee manages a disparate workforce and gets buy-in for strategy.
Why Switchee has an unlimited holiday policy.
