Bastian Fischer is a Principal Asset Expert with more than 25 years of experience supporting electric utilities in Europe, North America, and Asia. He specializes in helping investor-owned utilities (IOUs) improve grid reliability, risk transparency, and capital efficiency through risk-based asset management.

He has extensive experience aligning asset strategies with ISO 55001 principles, including lifecycle optimization, standardized decision processes, and traceability between asset condition, risk, and financial outcomes.
At Reinhausen GmbH, Bastian leads the development of Asset Performance Management (APM) architectures integrating monitoring, diagnostics, and enterprise systems. Previously, he held leadership roles at Oracle Utilities, SAP, and as CEO of Locamation, working with major utilities on asset management, grid digitalization, and operational performance.
