He’s an Executive Vice President at Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration Business Unit, bringing a wealth of experience in critical areas like HVDC, grid connections, power quality solutions, and smart charging infrastructure. His expertise is definitely a big win for the company as it navigates the global energy transition! 💡
Naturally, with these leadership changes, the company’s various committees are also getting a fresh look. Several committees, including Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, Stakeholders’ Relationship, Risk Management, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committees, have been reconstituted to reflect the new board composition.
