Here are some highlights of where he\u2019s putting his focus now:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating intelligent energy systems: <\/strong>With 160,000 employees and 1 million partners worldwide, Schneider Electric already has a robust ecosystem around its products. But Blum wants to evolve from being an energy technology company to an \u201cenergy technology partner\u201d that leverages data and connects the grid to the data center in new ways to create more intelligent, efficient and adaptive energy systems for customers. Said Blum: \u201cOur job is to make sure that we connect an ecosystem of people and provide the technology that will make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accelerating the energy transition with big tech:<\/strong> From the need to draw more power from the current infrastructure to the need for new infrastructure to harness solar, wind and other renewables, Blum is prioritizing initiatives to create new advanced infrastructure with partners like <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/nvidia\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/nvidia\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">Nvidia<\/a> and increase the efficiency and performance of existing systems. Among other things, he\u2019s launching a new global consulting services brand to help customers meet those needs. \u201cThis acceleration of both supply and demand is happening faster than expected,\u201d Blum said. \u201cThat will disrupt the way we invent the technology of the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moving beyond ESG: <\/strong>\u201cWhile we want to deliver strong financials in the next quarter, we always try to imagine how we impact our environment positively,\u201d Blum said. \u201cWe still want to be a responsible company for the short and the long term. We used to call that social responsibility\u2014it was more charity\u2014then it moved to ESG sustainability, and maybe the next cycle is more about impact responsibility \u2026 It\u2019s not only for your wallet or the planet that you have to do the energy transition, it\u2019s because of demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep management layers to a minimum:<\/strong> The complexity of large companies can be a<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/09\/12\/more-leaders-recognize-powers-small-teams\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/09\/12\/more-leaders-recognize-powers-small-teams\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\"> barrier to decision making<\/a>. Blum\u2019s solution is to \u201ckeep one layer which is common \u2026 the 20% of stuff that has to be truly global in strategy\u201d and build out its four regional hubs to \u201ccreate empowerment and speed in the way we are managing the company.\u201d That means more resources, centralized supply chains and independence for regional operations in places like North America and China to \u201cempower people as close as possible to the action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating culture from the top:<\/strong> \u201cAt the end of the day, you can have the best technology, the best brand,\u201d Blum said, \u201cbut 90% of success is about the selection of the people you will put in the job.\u201d\u00a0 Blum credits his time as CHRO with making him more attuned to the importance of leadership, noting \u201cyou realize how much the culture, the behavior of the people, are impacted by what comes from the top of the company. \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full interview <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/22\/schneider-electric-ceo-olivier-blum-model-corporate-leadership-innovation\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/22\/schneider-electric-ceo-olivier-blum-model-corporate-leadership-innovation\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More news below.<\/p>\n<p><em>Contact CEO Daily via Diane Brady at <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/22\/schneider-electric-ceo-olivier-blum-credits-chro-leadership-style\/mailto:diane.brady@fortune.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to mailto:diane.brady@fortune.com\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">diane.brady@fortune.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Top news<\/h3>\n<p><b>OpenAI joins browser wars<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">OpenAI <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/21\/openai-unveils-its-atlas-web-browser-in-a-bid-to-supplant-google-as-the-internets-universal-starting-point\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/21\/openai-unveils-its-atlas-web-browser-in-a-bid-to-supplant-google-as-the-internets-universal-starting-point\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">unveiled<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> ChatGPT Atlas, a new web browser integrated with the company\u2019s ChatGPT AI model, during a livestream on Tuesday, aiming to establish itself as a starting point for users\u2019 internet journeys.
