About Kerim

I support boards of directors, managing directors, and department heads in energy supply companies, municipal utilities, and energy-intensive industries in quickly stabilizing and measurably improving energy procurement and security of supply in transformation and crisis situations.

As a doctor of energy economics with over 15 years of experience in procurement, regulation, and grid/supply issues, I translate complex market and regulatory requirements into pragmatic decisions – with a clear focus on costs, risks, and feasibility.

Typical projects include setting up and restructuring energy procurement and PPA portfolios, securing supply contracts in volatile markets, and preparing and supporting decarbonization and grid projects – each with specific goals such as double-digit cost efficiencies, risk reduction, and increased security of supply within 6-18 months.
