After more than six exciting years at Spacewell Energy (Dexma), now SPACEWELL | A Nemetschek Company, the time has come to close one chapter and begin a new one, from a different angle, but with the same purpose: to make this world a more sustainable and energy-efficient place. It’s been six intense and rewarding years, during which Dexma has grown from a promising start-up into a consolidated scale-up within the Nemetschek Group. Six years of growth, learning, and transformation. They’ve also been years of personal and professional change. To put six years into perspective: when I started, my children were Eila 9 and Oriol 7. Now she’s studying 10th grade at Berkeley and he’s in 2nd of ESO. Time really flies. These years have also been a school of resilience and adaptability. We’ve gone through a pandemic, a war in Europe, and the rise of generative AI, all of which have transformed how we work and think. This demanded agile and thoughtful responses, for both company and clients. People say we’ve moved from a VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) to a BANI one (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible), where vulnerability takes center stage. While I’m not entirely sure I agree, I do believe the complexity and speed of change have grown tremendously. And we’ve not only adapted and surfed those waves but also become stronger because of them. There has been also room for fun: I doubt anywhere else can match our legendary summer and winter parties (which other CEO would close Razzmatazz?) or our beloved calçotada tradition. I leave deeply grateful, to Joan Pinyol Blasi for his trust; to the Execs at the time: Miguel Cruz Zambrano, Elodie Guillard, Daniel Utges, Joan Gummà Maragall, Guillem Corominas, Xavi Novella, for their welcome and support; and to all my travel companions who made this journey so rich. At the risk of forgetting someone: CaixaBank team, Nil Bufí Martí, Jordi Ros, Ander Basañez Olivares, Víctor Gutierrez, Sebastián Hinojosa Lucena; CSM, Irene Šimić, Laura CARBO, Anna Fabregat; Product team, Alfonso Mateos, Júlia Bayascas Caseras, Sofia Fernandes, Jordi García Bayo; Marketing, Helena Palomo Museros, Simone Cutrufo, Dervla McGinn; Pre-sales, Pilar Retana, Iole Chiara Pannozzo; Sales, Fernando P., Didier Dubau, Alua K., among many others. Thanks also to my SPACEWELL | A Nemetschek Company colleagues, from Eric Van Bael to Wouter Hartemink, including Germon Knoop, Stijn Dauwe and more recently Sandra R., Pauline Coutrot Meijer, Sjoerd Aalders and our new CEO John Van Tessel, for their collaboration and trust. And special thanks to Marc Nézet for his support and guidance from Nemetschek Group. And finally, to our clients and partners, for their loyalty, dedication and patience through all the challenges and changes over the years. Thank you for your trust and for continuing to evolve with us. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
