I look forward to continuing this journey with present and future customers.”

Carlos Lima
Head of Customer Support
Carlos Lima first joined MAKEEN Energy in 2007 as a Service Coordinator in Brazil, a role he held until 2015, where he had a period working elsewhere. Here, he transitioned to working on the customer side, gaining valuable insights from their perspective. Luckily, he returned in 2022, relocating to Denmark to bring his expertise back to the company.
As Carlos puts it: "I've always been passionate about supporting people - whether colleagues, customers, or partners - to succeed. Since joining Kosan Crisplant (now MAKEEN Energy) in 2007, my focus has been on collaboration, problem-solving, and driving results. This mindset naturally led me to Customer Support, where I see my role as ensuring that our team, and those we serve, have the right conditions to thrive."
