Christophe Hecker is a self-proclaimed autodidact. He started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 22 in the financial sector, where he would evolve for over 15 years. He later assumed the position of Head of Development at the M&A firm CAIRUS (Mentor Group). 

In addition to his professional activities, Christophe has developed a passion for energy since 2014 when he wrote the book “Shale Gas and Oil : Global Revolution and French Denial.” In this work, he foresaw the energy revolution that will be brought by the exploitation of shale hydrocarbons in the United States, making it the world’s leading oil producer and a major gas exporter. The book received the special jury prize of the TurgotLes Echos Award in 2015, an annual accolade for the best economic essay. 

Fascinated by the strategic dimensions of the energy sector in economic, geopolitical, and environmental terms, Christophe is convinced from the early stages of hydrogen development that this resource would be the next energy revolution and the cornerstone of an indispensable energy transition.
