Leading Through a Crisis as a First-time Group CEO

Once a major importer of Russian gas, Uniper faced financial turmoil in 2022, culminating in an adjusted EBIT loss of €10.9 billion—due in large part to the non-delivery of gas from Russia—and stabilisation measures implemented by the German Government.
