3. Experienced in Dynamic Energy Environments: Background in agile energy sectors (e.g., aggregators, tech-driven energy firms, VPP operators).
4. Hands-On and Proactive: Identify barriers, propose solutions, and drive execution without waiting for direction.
5. Strong Stakeholder Navigator: Build collaborative relationships across trading, IT, and retail teams to drive aligned execution.
6. Passionate about Innovation: Drive ideas from concept to scalable solutions, contributing to E.ON’s leadership in the energy market transformation.
