Executive Overview

CEO of MET Group, the Swiss‑based European energy champion with USD 33 billion in annual revenues, active across natural gas, LNG, power, and renewables. MET operates with a strong customer and asset base through subsidiaries in over 20 countries, across 33 national energy markets and 51 international trading hubs. I believe organisations succeed by staying close to customers, moving decisively and empowering people to take ownership. In complex and volatile environments, independent thinking, clarity of direction and courage in execution are what turn uncertainty into opportunity. Here, I share perspectives on leading large, complex organisations, building resilient and independent energy businesses, and translating market complexity into customer value. I am deeply committed to developing talent—creating opportunities for people to have impact, and sharing practical insights on how to grow, lead and make a real difference in the energy sector. People and culture matter deeply to me. I place strong emphasis on the customer and colleague experience, believing that performance, trust and purpose go hand in hand. Alongside my executive role, I serve as Non‑Executive Director of KBR, the NYSE‑listed global technology and engineering company. Previously, I was a member of Shell’s global Executive Committee, serving as Director of Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions, where I led organisations of over 30,000 people across multiple businesses and geographies in Europe, the United States, Mexico, South America, Africa and Asia, with a consistent focus on customer value and long‑term impact.
