Heiko Wuttke (pictured) has taken over the position of chief executive of PNE AG, replacing Per Hornung Pedersen, who had led the company on an interim basis since August 2024.
Since 2022, Wuttke has been chief executive of 8.2 Consulting AG, which offers consulting services in the field of renewable energies.
Prior to this, he was a member of the executive board of PROKON Regenerative Energien eG, director on- and offshore development Germany at Vattenfall Europe Windkraft GmbH and responsible for global onshore sales at REpower Systems AG.
Wuttke said: “I am very much looking forward to the new task. PNE has a clear vision, a very good position on the market and, above all, highly motivated and competent employees.
“Together, we will continue PNE’s success story and focus on profitable growth. Our goal is to continue to position PNE as a pioneer in the development of clean energy solutions both nationally and internationally.”
Dirk Simons, chairman of the supervisory board of PNE, added: “We are delighted to have Heiko Wuttke on board.
“He is an excellent addition to the board of management, which with Harald Wilbert as chief financial officer and Roland Stanze as chief operating officer consists of very experienced executives.
“They will continue on the path we have taken and lead PNE to further growth in its core markets.
“I would also like to thank Per Hornung Pedersen, who stepped into the breach following the departure of Markus Lesser and has taken on the role of CEO on an interim basis.
“He will remain a member of the Board of Management of PNE AG until the end of March 2025 without a specific area of responsibility.”
