Hitachi Energy has officially appointed Andreas Schierenbeck as the new CEO as of today, 1 July 2024, marking the culmination of a carefully orchestrated leadership transition. This follows a previous announcement made in early March.

The outgoing CEO, Claudio Facchin, has spent recent months collaborating closely with Schierenbeck, visiting key Hitachi Energy facilities and engaging with customers, partners, and employees globally. Facchin steps down after a decade of significant contributions in executive roles within the energy and power grids sectors.

Facchin's tenure saw Hitachi Energy emerge as a pivotal player in the global energy market, renowned for its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer-focused solutions. His leadership has steered the company through various challenges while consistently prioritizing advancements in transformer technology to enhance energy efficiency and reliability.

As Schierenbeck takes the helm, Hitachi Energy continues its mission to revolutionize the world's energy systems, emphasizing sustainable and flexible solutions. This transition aims to further strengthen the company's position in the energy sector, especially in transformer innovation and deployment.

Hitachi Energy's 45,000 employees worldwide are poised to support Schierenbeck in this new chapter, looking forward to ongoing progress and leadership in the energy transformation journey.
