Vestas Wind Systems A/S plays a leading role in providing the solutions and services needed to accelerate the energy transition. To sustain leading position and help governments and customers address the climate crisis and improve energy security, Vestas will strengthen organisational focus on Development Business and digital transformation. To accelerate digital transformation, the company will establish a new function, Digital Solutions, with the key objective to digitally transform business to enable stronger customer focus, scalability and profitability.

At the same time and to reflect the great progress and growth Development business have achieved in the last 18 months, and the pivotal role Development plays in accelerating the deployment of renewable energy, the company is elevating Development function to be represented in Executive Management. The two functions will operate separately and be led by Thomas Alsbjerg, currently Group Senior Vice President of Development, who will be promoted to Executive Vice President of Digital Solutions and Development as of 1 July 2022, heading Digital Solutions and remaining CEO of Vestas Development. The intent with Digital Solutions is to accelerate efforts within IT/OT (operational technology) and digital transformation through a consolidated unit with a full mandate to run the end-to-end digitalisation of Vestas.

The unit will be responsible for improving IT efficiency, integrate digital solutions further into customer offering, improve employees' digital experience and support core processes across the value chain. To continue scaling Development globally and evolving its organisation across all Vestas Regions, Nikolaj Tyge Gertz, currently Senior Vice President of Strategy and M&A, will become Chief Operating Officer of Vestas Development on 1 January 2023, reporting to Thomas Alsbjerg. A planning process to determine how Digital Solutions should be organisationally set up has been initiated.
