Skyborn Renewables Announces Patrick Lammers As CEO In Strategic Leadership Transition

In a significant move within the renewable energy sector, Skyborn Renewables, headquartered in Bremen, Germany, has announced a pivotal leadership transition. Patrick Lammers is set to take over as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from Thomas Karst on 1 June 2024. This change comes as Skyborn continues to cement its position as a leading force in the offshore wind industry, a segment recognized for its rapid growth and essential role in achieving global net zero carbon targets.

Thomas Karst, who has been at the forefront of Skyborn since its inception in September 2022 and assumed the CEO role in March 2023, will not be stepping away entirely. He is slated to continue contributing to the company in an advisory capacity. This arrangement ensures his invaluable experience remains within reach, aiding both the Advisory Board and Patrick Lammers during this transition period.

Søren Skou, Chair of the Advisory Board, expressed his enthusiasm for Lammers' appointment, highlighting the critical nature of offshore wind energy in the broader context of the energy transition. Skou also extended gratitude towards Karst for his leadership and pivotal role in steering Skyborn through its formative challenges, laying a robust foundation for its future.

Patrick Lammers brings to Skyborn a wealth of experience from his tenure as Chief Operating Officer – Commercial (COO-C) at E.ON. There, he was instrumental in navigating the company through an energy crisis marked by geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions. His leadership was characterized by a focus on entrepreneurship, continuous improvement, and performance management, all while seizing the opportunities presented by the energy transition.

Lammers' career also spans significant roles outside the traditional energy sector, including CEO of Dyson plc and Managing Director of Dureal. His extensive background is expected to inject a fresh perspective into Skyborn's operations, enhancing its mission to lead in offshore wind's contribution to the energy transition.

Reflecting on his upcoming role, Lammers shared his belief in offshore wind's pivotal role in the energy transition and expressed eagerness to work alongside Skyborn's dedicated team. His vision is to elevate Skyborn into a global leader within the offshore wind platform sector.

Thomas Karst reflected on his time with Skyborn with gratitude towards the team and investors for their support. He voiced confidence in Patrick Lammers' ability to drive Skyborn's growth and development further into a leading position globally.
