“Johnny combines substantial understanding and experience of the MHI Vestas platform with business acumen.
“We believe that as MHI Vestas continues its growth into new markets, having a co-CEO that has executive management experience in product strategy and go-to-market planning and execution will ensure that the company will remain at the forefront of the offshore wind industry.”
Runevad said of Krogsgaard that “on behalf of the shareholders I would like to thank Lars for his hard work and dedication at MHI Vestas Offshore Wind”.
He added: “Lars has deep knowledge of the wind industry and energy markets. He played an important role in the company and was instrumental in expanding our business to Asia and the US.
“We regret, but respect, his decision to leave and on behalf of the board of directors I wish him the very best for the future.”
