Siemens Gamesa has appointed Alfonso Faubel as the company’s new onshore business chief executive, effective from 29 July.
He replaces Mark Albenze, who has held the position on a temporary basis, in addition to his role as chief executive of the service business unit.
Faubel (pictured) joins from Sentient Science, where he was chief revenue officer of energy and president of Europe.
Sentient Science is a digital provider of materials-science-based life prediction and extension technology in the global wind energy market.
Previously, he worked for Alstom-General Electric as senior vice president, global sales and marketing.
Siemens Gamesa chief executive Markus Tacke said: “We are very pleased that Alfonso Faubel is joining the company and look forward to working with him.
“His broad industry experience will support the onshore business unit in addressing the challenging environment and continuing to deliver value to our customers.”
Faubel said: “I am honoured to join a global company of the calibre of Siemens Gamesa, which has such a clear commitment to delivering clean energy.
“Onshore wind will be a key element of that vision and I am ready to take on the challenge and contribute to reinforcing our leading position, delivering projects that create lasting value for all our stakeholders.”
