Learn to Decide | Heidelberg Materials CEO Dominik von Achten

In this episode of Executive Decisions, Steve Sedgwick sits down with Dominik von Achten, CEO of Heidelberg Materials. One of Dominik’s earliest decisions was to leave the “dry” world of legal practice for the fast-paced environment of Boston Consulting Group. Today, he steers one of the world’s largest building materials companies through a bold sustainability pivot, Dominik reflects on the toughest choices of his career, including introducing decarbonization targets into executive compensation. He explains why exposing yourself to crossroads moments builds confidence in decision-making and why listening to younger voices is critical in an era of AI and rapid change. Finally, Dominik reveals what motivates him today—and why shaping an industry for future generations remains his ultimate goal. #CNBC #CNBCPodcast #ExecutiveDecisions ----- Subscribe: @cnbci CNBC International Live: @cnbcinternationalive LinkedIn:   / cnbc-international   TikTok:   / cnbci   Facebook:   / cnbcinternational   Instagram:   / cnbcinternational   Threads: https://www.threads.net/@cnbcinternat...
