Big news: the CEO of @ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher will not have her contract renewed.
About two years ago she asked me to move to Paris & serve as ENGIE's Chief Science & Technology Officer. I agreed to do so because I was inspired by her vision & impressed by her leadership./1

@ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher It was as great decision and I am pleased to have joined her team.
She is one of the world's leading voices on the moral and business imperative of a low-carbon future. And she is an impressive woman: smart, tough, focused, sincere.
We need more CEOs who are as bold./2

@ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher She turned ENGIE around, starting the shift towards an asset-light, services model.
She sold our dirty assets and invested aggressively into renewables and new business ventures.
She recognized the importance of a digitalized and decentralized energy future./3

@ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher She made big, bold claims, but then backed them up.
For example, ENGIE cut its emissions 50% in 3 years while making billions in profit and protecting its dividends for shareholders.
These are remarkable feats, especially for an energy company./4

@ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher She also invested in people. Under her leadership ENGIE started a 50-50 campaign: the goal is that the company's 40,000 managers will be evenly balanced between men & women by 2030. That is incredible. And it's clear she is as serious about that goal as about decarbonizing./5
@ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher In total, @isabelle_kocher made a remarkable contribution to the planet, the nation, the company, the shareholders, the employees, and for individuals like myself. I have learned much from her and owe her my gratitude./6
@ENGIEgroup @isabelle_kocher I have two hopes:
1) I hope that @ENGIEgroup will keep its forward progress in the direction Kocher pointed us, balancing its 3 priorities of people, planet profit, and
2) I hope that @isabelle_kocher will continue to share her voice for the future on a global level./END
