At its regular meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG made the first personnel decisions required to set the course for the company’s future. Managing Board member Michael Sen – whose current duties include responsibility for the company’s equity investment in Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) – will be proposed as CEO of the new company in the energy and electricity sector. Plans call for publicly listing the business in September 2020. Michael Sen has also been appointed Co-CEO with Lisa Davis of Siemens’ Gas and Power (GP) Operating Company, effective October 1, 2019. Lisa Davis previously informed the Supervisory Board that, for personal reasons, she did not wish to further extend her present contract. Until the ordinary Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in 2020, she will ensure an orderly handover of her leadership responsibilities to Michael Sen. Lisa Davis will subsequently support the President and CEO of Siemens AG in an advisory capacity until her contract expires.
