Skyborn Renewables has appointed a new chief financial officer (CFO) and a new chief investment officer (CInO).
Willem Mentz is the developer’s new CFO and Bill Gutterman is the new CInO, both effective 15 May 2023.
Mentz and Gutterman will be replacing João Metelo, who holds the position of chief Iinvestment & financial officer and has decided to exit Skyborn.
“At Skyborn, we are committed to creating a leading offshore wind platform and contributing to the global energy transition,” said Skyborn chief executive Thomas Karst.
“We are delighted to welcome Willem and Bill to our executive team. Both bring extensive experience in finance and investments which will help us deliver on our strategic objectives,” he added.
“We thank João for his valuable contribution to building Skyborn and wish him continued success in his future endeavours. His dedication and hard work have been instrumental to our success.”
Skyborn was launched by GIP, a leading independent global infrastructure investor, in September 2022, following the acquisition of 100% of WPD’s offshore wind business in September last year.
