About Kristi Katsma

As the Senior Vice President, Legal - Commercial Affairs at Fisker, I formed a diverse legal team of strategic thinkers to support the company\'s growth and expansion as a start-up in the electric vehicle industry. My division supports engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, operations, sales, service, real estate, IP and litigation, as well as expansion through complex transactions. I am a trusted partner advising the C-suite and the board of directors in implementing the best business solutions while limiting risk and ensuring compliance in a fast paced start-up environment. My mission is to enable Fisker to achieve its vision of creating a clean future for all through innovative and sustainable mobility solutions. I leverage my expertise in negotiating and closing complex deals, managing cross-functional teams, and resolving legal disputes to facilitate the development and launch of Fisker\'s first electric vehicles across various markets and regions. I am passionate about collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, building trust and rapport, and delivering value and excellence.
