As water utilities across the world accelerate digital transformation, the true challenge often begins after smart meters are installed. Converting technology investments into reliable data, operational efficiency, and measurable financial returns requires strategic leadership, governance, and deep industry expertise. Few professionals understand this better than Christophe Robeyst, CEO of Missing Link Group, a respected advisor helping utilities unlock the full value of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) programs across Oman, the GCC, Europe, and North Africa.

With a career spanning more than two decades across utilities, operational excellence, digital transformation, and consulting, Christophe has established himself as a leading voice in smart water management and data-driven utility performance.

Transforming Water Utilities Through Innovation

As CEO of Missing Link Group Oman, Christophe specializes in bridging the gap between meter deployment and measurable business outcomes. His work focuses on ensuring that utilities gain real value from digital metering investments through stronger governance, data integrity, operational processes, and revenue recovery strategies.

One of his most notable achievements has been leading the PMO for Oman’s largest smart water metering deployment, connecting more than 400,000 smart meters to a unified platform while contributing to significant collection improvements and operational efficiencies. His expertise extends across AMI strategy, contract management, program governance, data validation, non-revenue water optimization, and utility transformation.

Through Missing Link Group, he continues to help organizations avoid common implementation challenges and maximize the return on their digital transformation initiatives.

“Technology alone does not create transformation. Sustainable value comes from trusted data, strong governance, and effective execution.”
