José Antonio Vanderhorst

Systems Architecture Consultant

A book with energy at the center of its narrative—highly valuable for those with experience in the sector, and for those without it, it offers enough detail to understand why the energy transition is the most relevant issue for our future and how to approach it in the best possible way.

I especially liked how it connects energy, risk management, and organizational culture with human-centered and sustainable leadership. “Beyond Energy” is much more than a book about leadership in the energy sector.

The writing style is straightforward and reflective, which makes the book easy to read. Each chapter offers ideas that encourage you to think about your own leadership approach. Some of the best parts are the lessons drawn from real crises and how they shaped the author’s perspective.
