Mats Hagen.

Mats Hagen is Chief Digital & AI Officer of Catoxy Energy, responsible for the company’s digital and AI capability — including SERIO, Catoxy’s internal platform for screening, evaluation, risk, investment, operations and optimisation.

Career

He holds a BSc in frontend and mobile development and has spent a decade in project management, product ownership and CTO roles, working with offshore and hybrid engineering teams. His work sits where commercial strategy meets the technology that has to deliver it: translating what a business needs into something an engineering team can build, and translating back, honestly, what the technology can and cannot do.

At Catoxy Energy

His approach to AI is deliberately unfashionable. He starts from the workflow and the decision it serves, and adopts AI only where it measurably improves an outcome — not for its own sake. In a field where the marketing has run well ahead of the evidence, he treats a system that cannot show its working as a liability rather than an asset.

That discipline shapes SERIO. It is built to make Catoxy’s own screening, evaluation and operating decisions faster and better-evidenced — an internal instrument answering to the people who depend on it, rather than a product in search of a market.
