Robert Schiele – Energy Transition

Robert Schiele
Trusted Advisor for Transformation

Leadership. Strategy. Impact

Strategic transformation, clear decisions, measurable results. I support companies in growth, change and leadership – as a consultant, interim executive and on the board.

Change determines future viability. But without a clear strategy, decisiveness, and the power to implement it, transformations often fall short of their potential. I bring over 25 years of experience in global corporations, investment platforms, technology development, and operational transformation – from Siemens to medium-sized energy and industrial companies.

My focus: impact, speed, responsibility

Strategy & Growth

Markets are changing faster than business models – driven by energy transformation, new technologies, and industrial disruption. Traditional strategy work is no longer sufficient: Today, speed, validation, and consistent implementation are what count.

Business Transformation

Transformation rarely fails due to a lack of ideas, but rather due to a lack of leadership, clarity, and implementation. I bring precisely that to the table: clear priorities, robust governance, and momentum – ensuring that change doesn't stall, but delivers measurable results.

Interim Management

When things need to happen quickly, you need leadership with decisiveness, experience, and presence. No slides – just implementation, accountability, and visible results.

Board Services

Modern boards don't just evaluate – they shape, initiate, and create value. With AI presenting both opportunities and risks, boards are needed that understand the technology and can strategically contextualize it.

About me

Dipl. Ing. (FH) & MBA, over 25 years of experience in the energy market, industry & tech investments.

I work at the intersection of technology, market, and capital. My focus is on solutions that truly advance industry, not in five years, but today. In recent years, I have helped companies to solidify their decarbonization strategies, build new business models, adapt to market changes, and transform their businesses.

I understand the perspectives of startups, medium-sized businesses, and corporations alike, and I deliberately work without large teams. This ensures direct, fast, and honest communication. My role ranges from strategic consulting and leading business transformations to board work when a company needs someone who also participates in decision-making and takes responsibility.

My approach: create clarity, set the right priorities, build momentum – and lead transformation in a way that delivers real impact.
