After Ørsted said goodbye to Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Daniel Lerup in November, Ørsted Regional Director for Europe Rasmus Errboe has taken over the position as CFO.
However, the energy company recently announced that Trond Westlie had been hired as CFO as of April 1. This meant that Errboe was due to return to his old position as Regional Director by the end of March.
However, this will not be the case now. As part of the launch of a new management structure, Ørsted has promoted Rasmus Errboe to Deputy CEO.
As part of the new management structure, a new 'Commercial area' will also be created, this will be placed under Rasmus Errboe's area of responsibility, who will henceforth be Deputy CEO and Commercial Director. He will also become part of the registered management of Ørsted A/S, Ørsted states in a press release.
- I am pleased to announce that Rasmus Errboe has accepted the role of Deputy CEO and Commercial Director. Rasmus has done a really good job as Regional Director for Europe and most recently as Interim Group CFO, which has given him a comprehensive understanding of the business, which makes him a strong match for the new role, says Mads Nipper, Group President and CEO of Ørsted.
Ørsted will retain its current organizational structure with three regions (Asia Pacific Region, Europe Region and Americas Region). Going forward, Ørsted's Regional Directors, Director of Communications and Sustainability and Director of Strategy, Portfolio, Innovation and Digitalization will report to the new commercial organization led by Rasmus Errboe.
- I am very pleased to take on the role of Deputy CEO and Commercial Director of Ørsted. I have been with Ørsted for more than a decade, and I remain deeply motivated by and proud to be part of our journey. The central focus for me and the team will be to continue to deliver on our updated business plan, says Rasmus Errboe.
