Vestas Wind Systems A/S announced that the Chair of the Board of Directors of Vestas Wind Systems A/S, Bert Nordberg, has informed Vestas that he will not stand for re-election as board member in connection with the Annual General Meeting on 12 April 2023. Bert Nordberg steps down after having chaired the Board of Vestas Wind Systems A/S during the period 2012-2023. Following the Annual General Meeting the Board expects to constitute itself with Anders Runevad as new Chair.

Anders Runevad has been a member of the Board since 2020 and currently holds the position of Deputy Chair. Runevad was Group President & CEO of Vestas during the period 2013-2019. Bert Nordberg joined Vestas in 2012 at a very difficult time for the Company and spearheaded Vestas' successful return to financial stability.

During his term, Vestas has transformed from a leader in onshore wind to a leader in sustainable energy solutions. As part of this strategic evolution, Vestas has led the servicification of the wind industry; re-emerged as a leader in offshore wind energy; established a development business; positioned itself to exploit future opportunities in the Power-to-X market; and made industry breakthroughs within sustainability, including a blade circularity solution. Wind energy has established itself as a key pillar of the energy systems of the future, and Bert Nordberg's and therefore Vestas' strategic priority to put wind energy on a par with fossil fuels has been key to this achievement, mobilising both Vestas' technology and engineering prowess while setting the direction for the entire industry.
