Why did you choose Quintel?
I chose Quintel because I want to help people understand complex issues, especially around sustainability, by simplifying them. Quintel’s approach makes tough topics easier to grasp, which can have a real impact on how we address the energy transition and create a more sustainable future.
What excites you the most?
Matchday—whether it’s watching a great football game or playing my own hockey match. The energy, competition, and unpredictability make it the best kind of adrenaline rush.
What is the most thought-provoking book you’ve read?
‘Less is More’ by Jason Hickel, economic growth doesn’t always equal progress.
What qualities do you value most in people?
I value patience and self-reflection. Patience allows you to take their time, listen, and understand, while self-reflection helps to learn from experiences and grow.
If an alien looked at the state of the Earth as it is now, what would they think?
They’d probably see Earth as a poorly produced reality show—each season more outlandish than the last, with characters who never learn from their mistakes. It would seem like a chaotic spectacle, where nothing truly progresses.
