"Capitalizing on Concepts"
For over 25 years I’ve been deeply passionate about turning new ideas into successful businesses. I thrive on exploring innovative solutions and seeing them come to life through creativity, teamwork and dedication. My journey has taught me the importance of understanding and adapting to the needs of the customers we serve, which has consistently led to outstanding results. I enjoy working closely with diverse teams of experts, bringing out the best in them as we work towards common goals. My approach is all about staying resilient, being open to new perspectives, and committing fully to smart practices that benefit our society and environment.
During profound sessions of professional coaching and nature retreats for introspection and reflection, I learned that I am visionary, focused, versatile and driven by purpose.
My playgrounds have been complex and demanding organizations with strong strategic ambitions. I have successfully operated within advanced and rapidly changing markets, like:
Energy Transition & Renewable Energy
Water Technology
Building Automation
LED and semiconductor materials
Infrastructure
“During our 2 years of cooperation, I was impressed by Pepyn's strategic business development capacities in new technologies and applications and the ability to make it applicable and ready for implementation.”
“Pepyn is a real experienced professional. During the time we have worked together, he developed some innovative projects from scratch. Pepyn could bridge research and business development, leading the contacts with potential clients and establishing a trusting environment for co-creation and collaboration.”
“With Pepyn I had the opportunity to collaborate on an innovation project with European funding related to water and energy. During this time I have seen his skills as a professional, team management and negotiation. His way of working is inspiring and motivates those around him with the project."
“Pepyn brings a results-oriented approach while ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged and aligned. He has a sharp analytical mind and excels at asking the right questions. I highly recommend him to any organization looking for a strong, thoughtful, and results-driven interim professional.”
I feel comfortable in many professional environments, like Corporates / SMEs / Scale-Ups, because I am my best self by smoothly adapting and leading by authenticity.
My focus area is demonstrated by my track record: introduction of new business models and new value propositions, some leading to spin-offs. Outstanding project examples are:
Strategy execution & new business models
Entering a new market segment (water desalination by piloting electrodialysis membrane stack technology)
Developing new propositions addressing challenging customer segments (sustainable homes)
Guiding people and processes towards a new business operating model (heating & cooling networks + thermal energy storage).
New products/services
Piloting several smart energy concepts (demand-response, flexibility / congestion management, home energy management, sustainable homes, energy savings, EV, user experience)
Starting-up a chemical-mechanical production facility of high-tech materials for the upcoming “white LED” industry, by strategic partnerships and a global product and service range
Spin-offs
Spinning-out an energy trading platform while creating the launching customer
Spinning-out a high-end, interactive display showing renewable energy production and consumption flows
