Rinke van de Rhee | PartnerRinke van de Rhee

I was a co-founder of UCPartners in 2005, set up to further explore the potential of the energy value chain and support clients in dealing with rapidly changing energy markets. As an energy market specialist, I combine many years of consulting experience with detailed, hands-on knowledge of the utility business and related IT topics.

Before joining UCPartners, I was a member of the international Energy & Utilities organisation of the Capgemini Group, managing projects and providing expert advice on a wide range of industry issues. My primary area of expertise is business and information transformation for distribution system operators, transmission system operators and energy supply companies.  Other favourite specialties are smart operations and retail market design. I master these areas from strategy to technology and from design to implementation. Consequently I have published my views as one of the authors of the ‘Energy Trendsformation’ research series. Amongst many others, I have provided support to the following organisations in the form of consultancy: Alliander, Electrabel, Endesa, Eneco, Energie:direct, EnergieNed, E.On, Essent, ExxonMobil, Gaz de France, Luminus, Nuon, Shell and TenneT. Prior professional experience includes management of wholesale trading companies as an independent entrepreneur and account management roles with a public global security services company.

Clients and colleagues value me as an enthusiastic and results-driven partner, comfortable in the boardroom as well as in operational settings. After working hours I enjoy managing my own energy by practicing the self-defense art of Aikido.
