e-clearing.net, one of Europe’s leading electric vehicle (EV) roaming platforms, has appointed a new Chief Operating Officer following the departure of Dauaride Empere, who stepped down after more than three years with the company, most recently as managing director.
Mark Steffen Walcher, CEO of e-clearing.net, said Empere’s tenure helped position the platform as a key player in the European market. “Under his leadership, e-clearing.net has developed into one of the leading roaming platforms in Europe. His successes include the introduction of a standardised transaction-based pricing model and the launch of our new platform,” Walcher said. “With this change in leadership, we are sending a clear signal for the future and the strategic development of our company.”
Christian Beckers, previously at parent company Smartlab, has taken over as COO. Beckers played a central role in spinning off e-clearing.net as an independent company in 2020 and is expected to bring operational continuity. “Electromobility is facing a decisive decade. e-clearing.net offers the infrastructure and expertise to actively shape this change,” Beckers said. “I look forward to contributing my experience from commercial team management and working with municipal utilities and industry partners to further develop the platform sustainably.”
Founded in 2014, e-clearing.net connects more than 500,000 charge points and facilitates the exchange of data for roaming authorisation, transaction fees, and charge point information between charge point operators and e-mobility service providers. The company is part of Smartlab, which came under majority ownership of DKV Mobility in early 2025.
