Robert Schiele – Energy Transition

Strategy & Growth

Markets are changing faster than established business models – driven by energy transformation, technological disruption, and increasing capital intensity. Traditional strategy work is no longer sufficient: what matters today is speed, validation, and consistent implementation that creates value rather than increasing complexity.

What I contribute:

  • Structured strategy development for growth, innovation and sustainable market positioning
  • Building new business and investment platforms – from idea to operational scaling
  • Portfolio, divestment and market entry strategies in the energy, industrial and technology sectors
  • Experience in building new asset classes such as battery storage, microgrids and CCUS technologies
  • Sparring for CEOs, boards and private equity teams in crucial transformation and performance phases
  • Expertise in the realignment of capital-intensive business models and international portfolios

In various leadership roles – including Global Head of Strategy & Business Development – ​​I have realigned global investment models, transformed international portfolios, and established digital platform business models. This included developing new financing structures, divesting from fossil fuel assets, implementing scalable governance and decision-making processes, and building an infrastructure fund in the wind energy sector.

The results: significant increase in earnings, clear efficiency gains and a clear strategic focus on future markets.

Customer benefits: Clarity, focus and sustainable growth – based on leadership experience, market knowledge and genuine implementation skills.
