Vestas is to split its single Asia Pacific sales business unit into two groups from 1 April.
One unit will focus on China and Mongolia with a base in Beijing, while the other will cover all other Asia-Pacific countries, including India, based in Singapore.
Kebao Yang will head up the China and Mongolia business. He was previously chairman and general manager of Caterpillar (Qingzhou) and will join Vestas on 20 March.
The head of the other Asia business unit will be disclosed at a later date, Vestas said.
The current head of Vestas’ Asia Pacific sales business, Chris Beaufait, is to leave the company to “pursue new opportunities”, the company said.
Vestas executive vice president and chief sales officer Juan Araluce said: “With the introduction of two (sales business units), each dedicated to a more specific regional area of responsibility, we are investing more resources in the region and creating a more agile and customer centric organisation.
“The aim is to achieve a deeper market understanding and ultimately increase our market share.”
