What makes your heart beat faster?
Quintel's mission to accelerate the energy transition by improving everyone's understanding of energy and energy systems. Our kids. Playing guitar. Being present in the here and now. Helping people. Good coffee. Swimming
What drives you crazy?
Still waaaay too many things, but I am working on that!
If an alien looked at the state of the earth as it is now, what would he think?
Give it another 5 centuries or so and we will have the place to ourselves.
Tell us a fun fact...
In logical theory not until the late 19th century did it become possible to distinguish between the statements "All things have AN origin" and "All things have ONE (i.e. a single) origin". In the Western world, this shortcoming was used as logical proof for the existence of God by the most learned of people for almost two millennia.
What are your responsibilities at Quintel Intelligence?
As a partner I participate in the acquisition of new projects and co-develope the vision of how the Energy Transition Model can help accelerate the energy transition. As such, my focus is mostly on the national and international energy transition. I am also responsible for the energy system 'know-how' that the Energy Transition Model is based on. From Quintel's mission to provide deeper insights and education, I regularly contribute lectures to education programmes at the New Energy Business School and universities.
What do you respect most in people?
Wisdom. Patience.
Who would you like to be for 24 hours?
Stevie Ray Vaughan, had he still been alive. Then I would try and take his talents as a guitar player with me when I go back!
