Why did you choose Quintel?
In a couple of decades I want to be able to look back upon a successful energy transition to which I was able to contribute. I think working at Quintel will lead me to this goal.
What do you respect in people?
Curiosity, intrinsic motivation, originality, kindness, cleverness, wittiness and many more characteristics.
What drives you crazy?
I get frustrated when meaningful work is not utilized effectively or cannot be utilized at all. This often happens when results or methods are not properly documented or when different definitions are used. As a result, previous work is not built upon, and efforts have to start from scratch again. The ETM and the work Quintel does contribute to standardization and transparency. This allows for better building on prior work. I am passionate about contributing to this!
