Director Net Zero Energy Transition @Here 4 Zero Ltd
Chelmsford, GB
Technology innovations, geopolitical developments and climate change policies are driving a rapid transformation of our energy system. All organisations from energy consumers to energy suppliers and solution providers need to adapt quickly to mitigate risks and seize opportunities. Building on 20 years’ experience in leading energy and decarbonisation at Vodafone, Tesco, BT, and Daimler Chrysler globally, I set up Here 4 Zero to help other organisations navigate through the complex energy landscape. I adapt my services to the specific needs of the clients with three focus areas:1. Support large energy consumers in optimising consumption and cost while decarbonising their operations.2. Support energy solution providers with scaling their products for global customers.3. Support energy suppliers with new business models and propositions.I deliver my services depending on client needs in a flexible way, e.g:1. As an independent consultant/contractor remote or on-site2. As a programme lead or mentor working with your internal specialists 3. As a team with other industry leading consultants or specialised vendorsPlease reach out to me for an initial scoping conversation. Looking forward to speaking to you.
