Your question

“Think in opportunities, not problems.” Sustainable energy is the future – and this goes hand in hand with digitalization. Our guest Mario Suykerbuyk, CIO of European energy company Eneco, has digitally transformed the company. You have to think big and look ahead to be a frontrunner. Find out more with our host Jonathan Groubert, co-host Gerard Wijers and national short track coach Jeroen Otter.

Taking the long-term view

Energy transitions and digital transformations do not happen overnight. They both require the long-term view. But how do you reach that dot on the horizon? It is necessary to be both agile and disciplined. Eneco has benefited in this respect from going global, with a new Japanese mother company. It can thus incorporate both the pragmatic Dutch and the structured Japanese approach. This has only fueled the company’s ambition to provide sustainable energy for everyone. However, how do you make sure nothing gets lost in translation along the way? Find out in the podcast.
