Michael Perlberger
Founder & CEO
Life was good to me so far. Now it is my turn to give back something to humanity. Standing still is moving backwards so I prefer to create the future. Somehow this venture is closing a cycle. I have started my career as an aerospace engineer and with a second Master degree moved on into sales. As a consultant with Accenture and others big corporations I advised others about what they should be doing. I am now coming back to my aerospace roots realizing that if you want to change the world, you should start with changing yourself by doing what you are best in. Combining my attitude of asking open ended questions with my academic knowledge I assembled a team and created Brainwhere Airborne Wind Turbine System with the ambition of satisfying human kind’s need for energy needs of tomorrow in a sustainable way by harvesting the Jet Stream.
