We are thrilled to announce that AECO Energy’s Founder and CEO, Alan Jones, has been recognised as one of the Circle of Excellence Awardees for CEO of the Year at the Asia CEO Awards 2024 last September 11, 2024! This achievement is a testament to Alan’s vision and his dedicated leadership that has driven AECO Energy to new heights since its beginnings.
It all started in 2009 with Alan’s clear and simple vision: to help businesses save on electricity by offering specialised energy brokerage services. Since then, AECO Energy has grown significantly, helping businesses save millions of dollars on their energy costs over the years.
The Power of Patience and Discipline: Insights from Alan Jones’ Leadership
Alan’s philosophy is clear: “Stay the course, and your rewards will follow as your customers receive the benefits. Our success is tied to their success, and that’s how it should be…Celebrate others’ success, and then return to your own work with renewed focus,” he says, inspiring the team to remain committed to AECO Energy’s mission, and not to be swayed by the achievements of others.
Facing Setbacks and Pruning for Growth
Alan’s journey, like any leadership story, hasn’t been without challenges.
“Our plans are rarely smooth sailing,” Alan remarks. “But it’s through those challenges that we learn, grow, and emerge stronger.” He speaks of the importance of embracing these moments of difficulty as opportunities to refocus, adapt, and prepare for future successes that could be even greater than before. These setbacks serve as crucial learning points that ultimately make both the company and its people stronger.
Looking Ahead to a Brighter Future
“Together, we are shaping a brighter future for our company, our industry, and our community. Let’s continue to strive for excellence, learn from our experiences, and support one another on this incredible journey.” The future, as Alan sees it, is bright—full of opportunities to make a lasting impact on the energy sector while continuing to provide value to customers.
As AECO Energy moves forward, we remain focused on our mission to help businesses optimise their energy strategies, guided by Alan’s excellent leadership.
