Winner interview Roberto García Martínez, Eurobattery Minerals – CEO’S ON TWITTER, NGM

Why map tweeting CEOs?

Since the start of Box Communications over 10 years ago, when the digital transformation was still in its infancy, we have followed how the new digital channels affect the communication of listed companies. With long experience from the financial industry, we could see that the listed companies and their CEOs live in a new exciting, and the somewhat unsafe environment when information is spread faster and faster to virtually all stakeholders at the same time.

The ongoing pandemic, which will hopefully be over soon, has further accelerated the digital transition. As more and more people get used to communicating digitally, whether it is via audio, video, film, or text, the pressure will increase on companies not only to be digital internally but to incorporate it into all communication as well. And to get quick internal acceptance and a significant external impact, the management must show the way, and Twitter can act as a starting point.

As we recently wrote in the text "The digital CEO shows the way into the future" (in Swedish) it will become increasingly important with authentic and genuine communication to break through the noise, and who is better suited to act as the company's influencer than its CEO?

We do this survey to highlight good role models who can hopefully be an inspiration for others to follow.

The commitment among the CEOs at NGM has been a bit so and so in recent years; the list has really only had two participants who have been altering at the top spot. This year it finally heated up. It is an even field where Roberto García Martínez from Eurobattery Minerals pulled the longest straw and where Henrik Nyström from Star Vault finished second. Roberto García writes about the electric revolution and the battery mineral, areas with an exciting future. We say congratulations!
