GETEC has taken a huge step towards becoming Europe’s leading provider of decentralized energy services, with tripling the sales and its workforce in the last five years, expanding into 9 countries and driving the energy transition for our customers with unique sustainable solutions. After so many years in executive responsibilities it was my desire to move into the next phase of my professional career sharing my experience with others in nonexecutive roles and this is also how I will continue to support GETEC in its future growth ambitions. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to continue working on GETEC´s success and I am happy to find such an experienced and skilled leader like Pierre-Alain as my successor.”
