The Lotus Group LLC’s Post

5,000 new employees in two years, making up 25% of our current workforce. Coming from an accounting background, I have always believed that numbers can tell a story. And these certainly paint a picture of how RWE is changing, transforming, and developing. Starting out as a local utility company in Germany over 125 years ago, to becoming one of the leading renewable energy companies in the world. Our presence has now grown to almost 30 countries worldwide. We are still strongly rooted in Germany and our European core markets, and we have sprouted and added a few branches. The US stands as our largest market outside of Europe – in terms of installed capacity but as well as in terms of employees. We are also growing our presence in the APAC region. Growth that I myself have been lucky to see first-hand when travelling to meet our passionate and dedicated #TeamRWE across all our core markets. Which brings me to the crucial building block of this transformation - our people. What we are seeing is a technological transformation, which is not just calling for more employees but new and different skillsets and expertise, leading to new job profiles. That means besides re- and upskilling of our current workforce to also upskill new employees – hiring for attitude and training them up. Our employees are the basis for our success. And to honour this, we want to be the employer of choice in the energy sector. Our aim is to keep recruiting the best minds whilst also nurturing our talent and experts. We have already come far but our growth journey is still continuing, and I am very excited to be part of it.

🗣Looking for collaborators and friends of the industry! After 11 amazing years at PG&E in gas, electric operations, and power generation, I’m excited to announce the launch of Optima Advisory Partners! 🔍 Why: I’ve seen firsthand the high costs and limited value of traditional consultants in the utility industry. I believe there’s a better way. 💡 The Vision: Optima Advisory Partners is all about partnering with utility companies to increase throughput and execute more capital and expense operations within the same budget constraints. Our goal is to connect deeply with the industry, engage directly, and provide real value. 🤝 The Partnership: We are just getting started, collaborating with mentors, co-workers, and industry experts to reimagine business consulting for utilities. Additionally, we will offer specialized services for electric operations portfolio planning/management, project management and controls. It’s time to do better, together. Thank you for your support as we embark on this new journey. Let’s transform the utility sector and create lasting, positive change. #NewBeginnings #OptimaAdvisoryPartners #UtilityConsulting #OperationalExcellence #SustainableSolutions #Innovation If you’re interested in learning more or discussing potential collaborations, feel free to reach out. Let’s make a difference together! 🌟

And it is with great excitement I await my next adventure…. Having successfully delivered on the vision and promise I set out 4 years ago to transform the GE Gas Power demand processes; improving forecast data timeliness and quality (advancing from 6 to 48 months with zero redundancy), streamlining order conversion processes (82% reduction in user input with 100% user autonomy) and driving increased project planning maturity (avoiding $$MM in cost of poor quality) - it is with a great sense of pride and satisfaction that I have now handed this initiative off to the continuous improvement team and I am looking for my next ‘impossible’ challenge! I have had a wonderfully fulfilling time with the GE Vernova team.  I have been privileged to work inside it’s Repair Service Shops, with the Controls organisation, inside the Grid business, across the Field Services team (FieldCore) and I have traveled the world as part of global HQ serving the great talent across the regions.  I have had the honour of working with amazing customers and managing brilliant teams of Engineers and Craftsmen as we breathed new life into Power Stations, equipping them for the Energy Transition.  And I have had the thrill of spearheading and implementing exciting new market leading innovations to our field teams with some brilliant and inspirational minds.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the intellectual challenge and constant learning opportunities presented by these roles. As I seek my next exciting opportunity, I welcome connections with individuals who may be aware of roles aligning with my experience and desire to make a significant impact. #transformation #digitaltransformation #digitaltransformationstrategy #innovation #energytransition #impossibleisnothing

Europe's semiconductor ecosystem is poised for growth.  "With the continued uptick in the energy transition, demand for data centre capacity (mainly from hyperscalers), demand from industrial and automotive segments overlayed with increasing investments in generative AI within enterprises, we will continue to see the need for business leadership roles in this segment," states Praf Vagh, partner at ON Partners. "These leaders will need to be even more elastic in managing the mix of geopolitical uncertainty and an oscillating supply chain.” See our latest press release on the increase in energy, renewables, and semiconductor executive hiring➡️ https://lnkd.in/eMzgtT4R #ONPartners #executivehiring #executivesearch #semiconductor #renewables #energy #sustainability

An interesting trend we're seeing amongst hiring managers is the desire for commercially-focused talent to join traditionally "technical" teams, such as in the asset management function. This is another example of the opportunities available within the energy sector for those that may have an "outside the box" skillset. #WestEnergy #energycareers #energyjobs
