The Board of Directors of MHI Vestas Offshore Wind (MHI Vestas) has appointed Johnny Thomsen as the new Co-CEO of the company after the current Co-CEO, Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, resigned.

Mr. Krogsgaard joined MHI Vestas in 2018. The appointment of the Co-CEO is the role of the Chairman of the MHI Vestas Board of Directors as part of the joint venture agreement. From April 1 2018, Vestas holds the chairmanship of the joint venture board.
