About Gabriele Schmiedel
Gabriele is an experienced transformation and growth expert with over 30 years of leadership experience, most recently as CEO and C-level executive in technology- and energy-driven markets, from startups to large corporations, including Siemens AG.
She guides companies through strategic transformation phases, particularly where shifts in technology, markets, resources, AI/data, and governance converge under high uncertainty, and where growth strategy and risk/opportunity management require precision.
Her industry expertise spans energy transition, battery storage, hydrogen, and mobility, with intercultural skills for Germany, the Middle East, Africa, and the USA. Throughout her career, digital value creation has been a consistent thread: leading the disruption from PBX to VoIP, driving sales growth for digital products in mobile networks, building data analytics for rolling stock and hydrogen production operations, and starting the transformation of an organization to a state-of-the-art digitalization level for substantial growth.
