“A truly exceptional freelancer.” “The quality of the work that he did for us was amazing.” I help investors, industrial companies and consulting firms make decisions on complex energy and industrial technologies. My work combines market intelligence, technology assessment and industrial reality: Can the technology scale? Is the market opportunity credible? Where are the execution, supply chain and policy risks? Which assumptions matter most to the investment or strategic decision? What I deliver • Market and competitive intelligence • Technology and commercial due diligence • Market sizing and investment research • Industrialization and scale-up assessment • Supply chain and strategic dependency analysis • Strategy, scenarios and decision-grade recommendations Selected expertise • Energy transition and industrial decarbonization • Nuclear energy and fuel cycle • Critical minerals, rare earths and strategic materials • Hydrogen, CCUS and industrial heat • Power, renewables and energy infrastructure • Data centers and energy constraints • Advanced industrial and strategic technologies Why clients hire me • 20+ years across energy, technology and industrial strategy • Independent expert for European Commission/CINEA programs since 2020 • 50+ major industrial innovation and decarbonization projects assessed • Previous experience with GE Renewable Energy, AREVA and the US Department of Energy / Los Alamos National Laboratory • Chemical engineer and HEC Paris graduate • $200K+ earned and 90+ projects completed on Upwork I am particularly useful when a project sits at the intersection of technology, markets, industrial execution and policy, and the decision requires more than a conventional market report.
