We are delighted to welcome Robert to the team at ERT. Communication plays such an important role in the work we do – Robert will help us scale up our activities in this area and better communicate the value that industry brings to Europe – not just in terms of economic impact, but in many other ways as it contributes to society and the ways it can help address the challenges that Europe is facing.

I am excited to take on this new role at ERT. These are tumultuous times for international trade, for capitalism and the public’s expectations for a different response from the private sector to societal challenges such as energy transition, climate change and digital transformation. With Europe’s role on the world stage and the impact & implications of globalisation under the microscope like never before, this is a really interesting time to join ERT and I am looking forward to working with the team and the Members.
