Summary
<p>Phill Burton is Co-CEO of Otto Car, a company quietly reshaping how London moves. Otto is now Europe’s largest provider of electric vehicles to private-hire drivers, helping over 20,000 drivers get on the road and accelerating the city’s transition to clean transport. Before Otto, Phil helped scale one of the UK’s great consumer success stories - <strong>Bloom & Wild</strong> - from £2m to £100m+ in revenue, leading across eight countries and every major function from Operations to Marketing. Today, he’s combining that experience with purpose, investing in ventures like <strong>Lune</strong>, <strong>Maeving</strong>, <strong>Climate X</strong>, and <strong>Shellworks</strong>, mentoring founders through <strong>Seedcamp</strong>, <strong>Tech Nation</strong>, and <strong>Carbon13</strong>, and proving that climate innovation and commercial success can go hand in hand. In this conversation, we dive into: What it takes to scale responsibly; How to build ventures that make systems better; Why purpose and profit don’t need to be opposites.</p><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
