Natasha Nelson

CTO Services Schneider Electric

I am an executive specializing in Secure Digital Business, Digital Strategy and Energy Management, working at Schneider Electric - a global specialist in energy management and automation. With 20+ years of international experience in energy management, IoT, travel and hospitality industries, I've taken a special interest in the art of creating highly secure, valuable, analytics-driven, reliable digital solutions to help businesses gain access to new markets, create new products, find new customers and discover new efficiencies within.

Drive for sustainable future with the energy transition, knowledge of customers, love of technology and value creation opportunities fuels my imagination. I bring the ideas to my team, my colleagues and my business partners, and challenge them to bring forward their ideas, and to debate the ways in which various technologies can create competitive advantage and be woven into our overall strategy. I then assess budgets, risks, internal talent and external partnerships and finalize a digital strategy plan.

The key to my success in execution has always been my ability to build and lead high performing teams that include a combination of internal and external resources, as well as representatives from various business disciplines. I create an environment where everyone feels comfortable to bring forward ideas, raise concerns and help each other, regardless of their role. This work environment allows people to innovate and be very productive, and as a result, gives all team members deep sense of satisfaction with their work. We innovate, create and deliver results. This is my magic formula and I love doing it, again and again.
