Arjan Keizer | Leaving Shell to Fight Climate Change. Here’s Why | Episode 006

In this episode of The Midlife Crisis Podcast, we sit down with Arjan Keizer—someone who spent years driving the energy transition from inside one of the world’s largest energy companies, and who recently made the bold decision to step away. Arjan’s story is one of clarity, urgency, and purpose. After leading EV strategy at Shell, advising professional fleets on how to reduce their carbon emissions, and supporting green initiatives from within, he reached a turning point. Despite being deeply involved in the push for sustainability, something was missing. The system needed to change faster—and so did he. Now on sabbatical, Arjan is taking time to reflect and figure out where he can make the biggest impact next. In our conversation, we talk about what it’s like to leave a high-level corporate role in the middle of a climate crisis, what it means to build bridges between stakeholders, and why stepping back is sometimes the most powerful move forward. This episode is about more than just career transitions. It’s about choosing values over titles, systems over silos, and impact over inertia. ___________________ Affiliate Link – Longevity: Interested in optimizing your health and performance?
