As conversations progressed, it became clear that Charlie's experience aligned perfectly with our high-growth areas and development opportunities. Additionally, working with individuals who are down-to-earth, committed, focused, driven, and have a sense of humour is right at the top of my wish list, and Charlie embodies all these qualities!"

 

On joining the business, Charlie commented: "I have known Hydrogen throughout my career and have always admired the groups' ambition, success and culture. I am excited to join the business as COO to help drive the strategy and growth across all sectors within EMEA.

We hosted a roundtable in Bangkok recently. A couple of hours in, the debate was flowing and so was the wine, which in hindsight deserved more of the budget than we gave it. Then someone asked a very simple question: If an AI agent is doing a job in your organisation, who actually manages it? And who is accountable when it gets something wrong? It was probably the question from the evening that has stayed with me the most.
