He has more than 20 years experience within logistics and shipping.
Vestas President and Chief Executive Officer, Henrik Andersen, said, "Jakob will spearhead our Finance organisation as we aim to achieve our long-term target of double-digit profitability and I am confident his extensive experience from several large, global companies will be instrumental for our continued progress."
