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.

A masterful guide on human leadership and decision-making in times of crisis. Julio reminds us that true leadership is born from human conviction and the wisdom only gained by learning from mistakes.

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.

Excellent stories and anecdotes. A “must-read” for any leader navigating capital-intensive industries. It’s not just a book; it’s a navigation manual for turbulent waters.

Beyond Energy is a highly recommended read for anyone looking to strengthen their leadership skills, grow professionally, and adopt a modern perspective on decision-making. It is not only a book for the energy sector, but for anyone interested in leading better, with sound judgment and a forward-looking vision.

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.

I consider it essential reading for any professional beginning a career in electricity markets. It is very easy to read and full of real-world examples of how to manage a portfolio of generation assets and make decisions in an environment of imperfect information.
