Engie CEO: Crisis Leadership, Green Transition, and Europe's Energy Future

Hi everyone, I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, and today I'm in Paris and thrilled to be joined by Catherine MacGregor, the CEO of Angie, one of Europe's energy giants. Now Catherine's journey is incredible. Working on oil rigs in Congo to running one of France Top companies. Catherine took over NG just when Covid struck and they then faced Europe's biggest energy crisis in decades when Russia turned off the gas.

So you have basically been through a lot of interesting things. So great to have you here, Catherine. Thank you very much, Nikolai. Great to be here. What is Angie?

NG is a very large energy player that is super committed to the energy transition. It has a very long history, about 150 years long, coming from Gaz de France, Suez, also a little bit of British stuff with international power and also some Belgian DNA in the company. But we are now really a very large utility. We are present across the whole value chain of energy.
