Public Affairs & Ecosystem Building — Renewable Energy, Regulation & New Value Chains

b10ck is my consulting practice, active since 2001 at the intersections of innovation and industries that have to reinvent themselves. I translate between engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, associations and public authorities — with the goal of actually bringing a market-ready product to launch.

I'm currently open to interim mandates, project work, and advisory board/committee roles around the energy transition, public affairs and regulatory transformation.

Intersections

1991–2012

Music industry — physical, digital from 1997

First digital distribution and market publishing, then — in response to the commoditisation of music through streaming — a self-marketing platform for artists. Alongside that, with the Reeperbahn Festival Conference, a bridge to advertising, games and big data/tech.

2018–2024

Blockchain & Rights Management

Backend infrastructure for rights and supply-chain management (Bitfury Surround, Copyright Delta) — and, with UN1K.ART, the creative side of it: an NFT agency for music artists.

2024–present

Renewable Energy & Power-to-X

Public affairs for green hydrogen and green ammonia — stakeholders, permitting, politics.

Projects

International PtX projects in development

Building regulatory, partner and political relationships for several green hydrogen and green molecule projects, currently in the planning and permitting phase.
