Many thanks for visiting my site. The purpose of my work is to help provide leadership, encouragement, critique and thought leadership for UK’s policies and activities aimed at supporting the faster transition to clean power generation and the green re-industrialisation of our former industrial heartlands.
I’m a British-Austrian national and a UK Industrialist. I moved to the UK in 1974 and am a UK graduate engineer from Nottingham Trent University. Currently, I am Chair of Great British Energy, Chair of the Digital Catapult and the co-founder of vocL – a platform empowering responsible business voices.
I’m the former CEO of Siemens UK having worked for the organisation for 33 years. I work closely with a number of UK Universities including the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University as a visiting Professor of both.
I am a passionate advocate for a new economic approach, which should provide stronger leadership for innovation and technology led ‘green frontier sectors’ and industrial tech start-ups. I believe these should gain significantly more support as part of the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy and greater recognition as our national high productivity industries and prosperity engines.
Juergen regularly appears in the UK media, championing the above and has been a regular contributor on BBC Question Time.
Please have a look at my thoughts in the blog’s and media pieces on this site and I very much look forward to receiving your thoughts.
