Christiaan Hetzner is a former writer for Fortune, where he covered Europe’s changing business landscape. He’s reported from Germany for the past two decades and is passionate about tracking industry’s intersection with finance and policy as they collectively target a net-zero society. Shaped by his time in Frankfurt covering the collapse of the dotcom stock market bubble for Dow Jones Newswires, he joined Reuters in 2004 before shifting to commentary and features for Automotive News Europe ten years later. Hailing from upstate New York, he is a graduate of Georgetown University.
