SeaTwirl has appointed offshore wind industry veteran Johan Sandberg as its new CEO. He will start no later than March 1, 2023. Johan Sandberg has worked in offshore wind with a specific focus on floating wind turbine technology since 2008, when he began his career at certification body DNV.

His broad expertise covers everything from design standards and supply chain to operations and policy. At DNV, he had global responsibility for offshore renewables advisory services, responsibility for developing the world's first design standard for floating wind turbines, and the world's only guideline for integrating offshore wind with offshore oil & gas installations. Since 2019 he has been the Head of Business Development for floating offshore wind at Aker Solutions, Aker Offshore Wind, and Freja Offshore.

Current CEO Peter Laurits will remain CEO until Johan comes onboard and support him during a transition phase before moving into a new role at the company.
