8 steps towards a sustainable economic recovery
Building a sustainable future will depend on collaboration and intervention across multiple sectors. Here are eight recommendations for policy-makers
For over two decades, Gerard Reid has worked at the intersection of finance, technology, energy and geopolitics, helping investors, businesses, and policymakers anticipate and respond to the forces driving global transformation. His expertise spans energy markets, infrastructure investment, capital markets, and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on the strategic and financial implications of the shift toward a more decentralized, digital, and clean energy future.
Beyond finance, he is deeply engaged in the broader geopolitical and economic implications of these transformations. The energy sector is no longer just about supply and demand—it’s a battleground for economic competitiveness, national security, and industrial strategy. Europe’s response to the energy crisis, the rise of China’s clean technology dominance, and the implications of the US’s shifting geopolitical stance are just a few of the global challenges shaping the future.
As co-host of the Redefining Energy podcast, Gerard analyzes the key trends shaping energy and technology, bringing a fact-based, no-nonsense approach to industry leaders and decision-makers. He also contributes to global thought leadership as a Fellow at the Energy Transition Forum and at the World Economic Forum. His writing, consultancy work and speaking engagements focus on helping investors, executives, and policymakers decode complex energy, economic, and geopolitical trends—and turn them into actionable strategies.
