Every career has turning points, moments that shape the path ahead. For Samuel Cerqueus, those moments came through bold moves across different markets and roles at ENGIE. His story is part of our Journeys of Growth series, which celebrates young professionals who have grown into key roles across ENGIE’s global businesses.
From strategic marketing to industrial decarbonization and now driving eMobility innovation, Samuel’s track reflects the dynamic opportunities within ENGIE.
Breaking into Energy: a strategic start
Samuel joined ENGIE during his business school years through a work-study program in strategic marketing for BtoB services. “I wanted to work in the energy sector and contribute to a company with a strong carbon strategy,” he recalls.
This first experience allowed him to explore market analysis and identify growth opportunities for industrial services, a role that beautifully bridged his engineering background with business insight.
Moving closer to operations
In 2021, Samuel stepped into a more hands-on role and joined a newly created team dedicated to industrial decarbonization. “We built roadmaps for large industrial sites to help them reduce emissions, define their trajectory, and deliver on their decarbonization goals,” he explains.
From initial prospection to final delivery, he was exposed to a wide range of sectors (food processing, aerospace, etc.) which strengthened his sense of purpose by working on projects with tangible impact.
A bold shift to BtoC and eMobility
Samuel’s next move marked a significant change: from BtoB to BtoC, and from business development to innovation. Today, as Head of Innovation & New Offers eMobility at ENGIE BtoC France, he leads the development of new solutions for electric mobility. His responsibilities include defining the roadmap for future offers, building partnerships, and managing projects such as smart charging solutions.
“I love designing offers that create shared value: helping customers lower the electricity bill, improving grid stability, and driving sustainable growth for ENGIE.“
Shaping a career through flexibility & expertise
Reflecting on his journey, Samuel emphasizes the flexibility offered : “I’ve done three very different jobs in three markets. That’s the advantage of being in a large group: you can change paths and discover new areas.” He adds that ENGIE’s strong technical and market expertise has been instrumental in making those transitions possible. Working alongside specialists gave him the insight and confidence to turn ideas into viable solutions: bridging strategy and innovation in a way that shaped his career path.
Samuel’s advice to newcomers is simple!
“Don’t just stick to your path. Look beyond your role, and get involved in cross-functional projects. It’s the best way to grow and find what truly excites you.”
Samuel’s journey, from strategic marketing to industrial decarbonization and now eMobility innovation, illustrates the breadth of opportunities within ENGIE. His story demonstrates how varied experiences can lead to impactful roles, and how ENGIE can offer space to grow and innovate.
