Alan Chang, CEO of Fuse Energy, has expressed his discontent with the quality of talent in the British energy industry. In a recent interview, he stated that many of his employees would not be hired by him.
In a recent interview, Alan Chang, CEO of Fuse Energy, a British startup valued at $5 billion, questioned the quality of talent in the UK energy industry. According to expansion.com, Chang claimed that after researching current employees, he would not hire them.
Chang, who founded the company in 2022, made these statements after expressing his disappointment with the mediocrity he observed in the sector. “We go on LinkedIn and look at who works there, where they studied and what their background is. The truth is that I personally wouldn’t hire most of them,” he noted.
Chang's criticism highlights the growing concern over the lack of clear and honest leadership in the tech and energy sectors. Although there are other CEOs who speak frankly, such as Michael O'Leary of Ryanair, the general trend in corporate communication seems to favour a more reserved and diplomatic approach, which, according to him, contributes to the lack of innovation in the industry.
Such statements are becoming increasingly rare in an environment where corporate communication has taken control, and where sincerity is often overshadowed by empty rhetoric.
