About

I am an nternational energy executive with 25+ years of leadership experience across renewable energy, power generation, critical electrification and industrial services, with a track record of leading multi-country platforms, full P&L mandates, commercial growth, service transformation and complex operational environments. Most recently, I led ENERCON’s Southern Europe & Latin America region, covering 19 countries, 9.6 GW installed base, 5,100+ turbines and 1,200 employees across Sales, Project Execution, Service, HSE and enabling functions. My mandate focused on restoring commercial discipline, strengthening project execution, improving service performance, embedding Lean strategy deployment and building a more accountable operating model across a complex international platform. Earlier in my career, I built a 17-year GE leadership track across Power Conversion, Renewable Energy and Energy Services, spanning global service growth, LTSA platforms, commercial risk governance, M&A integration, wind onshore/offshore services, power generation agreements and critical electrification solutions. This combination gives me a distinctive perspective across OEM, utility, asset lifecycle, service monetization and infrastructure execution environments. I am particularly strong where growth, complexity and execution meet: scaling commercial platforms, improving margin quality, building disciplined operating systems, transforming service businesses, negotiating complex agreements and aligning teams around measurable value creation. I am currently focused on senior leadership opportunities across energy infrastructure, renewables, power generation, electrification, critical power, services, infrastructure platforms and transformation-led businesses.
