Benjamin Lakatos is the Chairman and CEO, as well as the majority shareholder of Swiss-based MET Group, an integrated European energy company. In 2001, he started his energy industry career by managing corporate mergers and acquisitions at MOL Group in Budapest.

Recognising the possibilities inherent in the European liberalisation of the natural gas market, he developed a new business strategy and launched MET in 2007 with a small team of experts. Under his leadership, the Group grew into an independent, management-owned company through a management buyout in 2018.

Today, MET conducts its business on 32 national natural gas markets and at 44 international trading hubs, through 17 European and Asian subsidiaries. MET Group is one of Europe’s fastest-growing energy companies.
