Today is my last day as CEO of Siemens Gamesa. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and partners for their continued support and collaboration, and for their trust in Siemens Gamesa. My heartfelt thanks especially to #TeamPurple, whose determination and hard work, alongside the resilience over the course of our journey together, is truly remarkable. Challenges did not deter us, and we are seeing the results of all our hard work. Now that the foundations have been set, it’s time for this strong team to move ahead under the leadership of Vinod Philip, Member of the Executive Board of Siemens Energy, responsible for the Wind Power business Siemens Gamesa. I wish Vinod and Team Purple all the very best. Thank you again, and let’s keep in touch.

Populism and extremism are gaining ground across Europe, threatening the very fabric of our democracies. But we are far from powerless to stop them. We have the power of choice. It’s in our hands to reject fear and division and instead embrace togetherness, openness, diversity, and tolerance. These principles form the bedrock of a united Europe, granting us freedom, stability, and justice. And they are essential for prosperity.   As members of #TeamPurple and part of Siemens Energy, we at Siemens Gamesa stand firmly with the #WeStandForValues initiative, an alliance of over 30 German companies taking a stand for a united Europe. The stakes are high. It’s our responsibility to make use of our voting privileges. Our future, and the future of generations to come depends on it. #UseYourVote

Experiencing our technologies firsthand is always special. Especially, when you’re more than 150 meters up in the air. When I look at our Siemens Gamesa wind turbines, I don’t just see a product. I see the tangible results of the hard work of #TeamPurple. I see their skills, expertise, passion, commitment, and teamwork that make our vision become reality, and that contribute toward realizing the energy transition. What we do at Siemens Gamesa matters. It matters not only for the success of our organization, but also for the future of our planet. Our technologies help power this world sustainably. They play a key role in driving the energy transition. And they are proof that, together, we are making an impact. #MoreWindNow

We at Siemens Gamesa have a clear vision: breaking even in fiscal year 2026. We understand our path forward, the foundation it is built on, and the programs that are in place to accomplish our break-even target. Now, what we need to do is rigorously implement our Masterplan, and deliver together. This was the core message of our Siemens Gamesa Leadership Conference 2024, which took place over the past two days near Madrid. More than 270 leaders and talents from Siemens Gamesa came together to discuss how to deliver together as one, and what it takes to lead in times of change. And to visualize our unity, connection, and dedication in delivering the turnaround together, we built our Siemens Gamesa value chain. Each of us contributed a chain link to symbolize that we are stronger connected and that, together, we are more than the sum of our individual strengths. I’d also like to thank our guest speaker Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath from bp for sharing bp’s perspective on the energy transition, her insights into effective leadership, and why it is so important to rigorously focus. As #TeamPurple we are committed to shaping the energy transition. And with our sights set firmly on the future, it’s now time to roll up our sleeves and continue driving Siemens Gamesa forward together.

Few experiences can compete with accomplishment.  Today’s inauguration of the Greater Changhua 1 and 2a #offshore wind power plants in Taiwan is an example for the power of resilience and teamwork. The 111 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines will provide up to one million households per year with clean electricity. Congratulations to Ørsted, #TeamPurple, and all who contributed to this project with their hard work and determination.    #MoreWindNow

Over the past year, progress has been made in laying the foundations for #MoreWindNow in Europe. The European Wind Power Action Plan, the European Wind Charter, and the Net Zero Industry Act signify the understanding that wind energy is of strategic importance for Europe’s energy sovereignty.   Now, we must focus on implementation. In particular, we need to accelerate permitting, improve auction designs to include and put more weight on qualitative non-price criteria in tenders, ensure a level playing field, remove financial burdens on the wind industry, provide access to public funding, and expand grid infrastructure.   Only then can we achieve the scale required to meet wind expansion targets and #NetZero.   We at Siemens Gamesa are committed to the energy transition. And with continued commitment from policymakers, industry, and partners, we can harness the power of wind to build a secure and sustainable future.   #GlobalWindDay

🎤 We just started the #EBN2025 with a powerful keynote, Jochen Eickholt independent advisor and former CEO of Siemens Gamesa, challenging the audience to see industrial transformation not as a crisis but as a launchpad for opportunity. Key messages from his keynote included: 1.  Wind energy is only part of the story. Circularity, end-of-life EV & hydrogen vehicle innovation, and ecosystem collaboration are the next frontiers. 2.  Execution speed and operational excellence matter just as much as strategy especially when navigating net-zero transitions. 3.  Ecosystem builders and startup support organisations (ESOs) must lead the charge, connecting industry with agile innovation and regional strengths. 4.  Policy must support industry. Focus investment where regulatory frameworks are stable and industry expertise meets innovation potential.

Health and safety are non-negotiables. Yet every day, countless people across the globe face health and safety hazards, including at work. Many of those risks, such as UV radiation or excessive heat, will increase with the effects of climate change, highlighting the need for a transition to renewables. At Siemens Gamesa, health and safety are paramount. Even the smallest oversight, the tiniest shortcut, can carry serious consequences. That’s why safety must be a priority in everything we do, at all times. Safety is the only way home. #WorldDayforSafetyAndHealthAtWork #TeamPurple #ZeroHarm
