Eric Meinen

CEO ANWB Energie & Slim Laden @ ANWB

About

Started the Energy venture of ANWB - with more than 5 million members the largest association and one of the most iconic brands in the Netherlands - in 2021. Now scaling it to hundreds of thousands of members. Because making mobility truly sustainable asks for affordable clean energy. And accelerating affordable clean energy requires grabbing the incredible potential of storing the cheapest energy we have - from sun and wind - in electric cars and using their batteries to power our homes and communities. We are helping people to make this shift to cleaner mobility and energy not by discussions and politics, but making it so cheap and convenient that this becomes a no brainer. By being an energy supplier where the members are the ultimate owners, transparent, and human. More personal, my professional life is dedicated to realizing ambitions. Creating breakthroughs. Sometimes this requires new insights or perspectives, such as new innovative strategies or business models. Other times, it's about implementation skills or creating commitment. Finding the right mix to break the status quo is what drives me and what I have been doing for over 20 years now. First within corporates, then as a director within consultancy firm IG&H and since 2016 within ANWB. With almost 5 million members, the ANWB is the largest association in the Netherlands. We want everyone to be able to travel carefree and with pleasure. Now … and also later. This means that we at Innovation & Ventures have a strong ambition to develop and validate new services for our members in our existing and new domains. Services that have real value for individual members and preferably also make the Netherlands a little more beautiful by solving social issues. For example in the field of sustainability, traffic jams and road safety. If you support this ambition and can add proven value in one of our domains, don't hesitate to contact us!
