Diverse nationalities to secure strong European performance

Summary

Diversity as a key component in Uniper trading team

Uniper is trading power throughout Europe – our Power short term trading team is active from the Nordics to Central & Western Europe (e.g. Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland…) and Eastern Europe (such as Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic). Based in Düsseldorf and 365 days a year, the team members physically optimize close to real time the Uniper asset portfolio, trade power from one European country to the other, offer our asset flexibility to grid operators and manage risks.

To ensure security of supply and a balance between supply and demand across the large number of European countries, it is critical for our team to understand the dynamics and interpretations of regulations in the respective markets., says Jean-Baptiste de Gabory, head of Power short-term trading at Uniper. The team consists of about 25 people with many different nationalities: They represent Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Hungary, Romania, France, the Netherlands, Bolivia, Turkey, Austria, Poland, Lebanon...

Uniper has Power dispatching centers in the UK, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands and generation assets in even more different countries. The pan-European nature of the team is a must-have. “Diversity is incredibly important for our company. The term means a lot. Outside, we mostly speak about gender, sexual orientation, or age – but diversity is much more than that at Uniper. As head of Power short-term trading, I need to make sure the best talents join our team and cover a wide range of perspectives. Having different nationalities is a cornerstone of the performance of our truly European business”, says Jean-Baptiste.
