The challenges you face
You are running a business in the energy sector, busy keeping the lights on today. And you know you need to innovate, to keep them on tomorrow. But still:
- Well intended innovation goals are misaligned with parts of the business. Or your ecosystem.
- You have found initial success, but are now bogged down by scaling bottlenecks.
- Plans are announced and everybody cheers. And still, cultural resistance halts everything.
How I’ve helped others like you
For TenneT, I transformed their reactive data management into a proactive, asset-driven approach. By interviewing stakeholders, leveraging my experience and applying best practices from my MBA, I helped them shift from viewing data as a by-product to recognising it as a strategic asset. This reduced recurring issues and enabled smarter decision-making. As their Head of Data Management noted: "This was an excellent exploration of best practices that will help us become a true business enabler."

For MFF BAS, I introduced ethics and shared values into their energy data-sharing ecosystem for the first time. This clarified their purpose, enhanced collaboration, and moved them beyond mere compliance. The director said: "You managed to put ethics on the agenda in the energy industry. Before this, it was off our radar."

Where can I help you?
Innovation Strategy
Pain: Your innovation efforts lack a clear roadmap, or you’re unsure how to turn ideas into actionable plans that align with business goals.
How I help: I help businesses define and execute innovation strategies that bridge theory and practice. For TenneT, this meant mapping out a future-ready approach to Asset Information Management—identifying gaps, aligning stakeholders, and embedding best practices to ensure their data strategy supported long-term goals, not just immediate fixes.
For you: From assessing your current state to designing a tailored roadmap, I’ll help you build a strategy that’s both ambitious and actionable—so innovation drives growth, not just activity.
Scaling Innovation
Pain: You have innovative ideas or pilots, but struggle to scale them across teams, stakeholders, or systems.
How I help: I help businesses move from proof of concept to broad adoption. For Stedin, I cut through the complexity of blockchain for grid flexibility—distilling global trends, stakeholder interests, and technical options into a clear, actionable report. This gave their team the confidence to critically assess next steps and align internally, turning a buzzword into a strategic opportunity.
For you: Whether it’s a new technology, process, or partnership, I’ll help you identify barriers, engage the right stakeholders, and design a scaling plan that fits your organisation’s reality and not just the hype.
Innovation Culture
Pain: Your team lacks shared purpose, or innovation feels like an add-on rather than a core part of how you work.
How I help: I help organisations build cultures where innovation thrives. For MFF BAS, I facilitated a process to define their shared values and shift their focus from compliance to societal impact and collaboration. This not only clarified their purpose but also improved how members worked together, making innovation a natural part of their operations.
For you: Whether it’s aligning values, breaking down silos, or fostering ownership, I’ll help you create a culture where innovation is everyone’s responsibility, not just a buzzword.
