By mutual agreement, two members of executive management are stepping down
and leaving Ørsted with immediate effect: Daniel Lerup, Chief Financial
Officer (CFO), and Richard Hunter, Chief Operating Officer (COO). Ørsted
has initiated the processes of identifying a new CFO and a new COO and
expects the processes to be concluded as soon as possible in 2024.
Mads Nipper, Group President and CEO of Ørsted, says:
“Ørsted, along with the rest of the industry, is experiencing a
challenging and volatile business environment. Therefore, the Board of
Directors and I have agreed with our current CFO and COO that we need new
and different capabilities to lead the Finance and EPC & Operations
functions to strengthen Ørsted’s journey into the future. I would like to
thank both Daniel Lerup and Richard Hunter for their contributions to
Ørsted. I’ve enjoyed working with both of them for the past years and wish
them all the best with their new endeavours.”
Interim management
From today, Rasmus Errboe will serve as interim CFO and member of the
Executive Board. Currently, Rasmus Errboe is CEO of Region Europe and
Executive Vice President at Ørsted and has been with the company since
2012 in different management positions, including as CFO for Ørsted’s
offshore wind business. Together with the Finance team and the Group
Executive Team, Rasmus Errboe will lead the work on supporting Ørsted’s
capital structure and long-term commitment to its credit rating. While
Rasmus Errboe serves as interim CFO, Olivia Breese will act as CEO of
Region Europe while continuing in her current role as Senior Vice
President and Head of Power-to-X at Ørsted.
Andrew Brown, member of Ørsted’s Board of Directors, has been appointed
interim COO and member of the Group Executive Team, expectedly until 1
March 2024. Andrew Brown has extensive international executive experience
from leading positions in large global organisations such as Shell and

implementing a strengthened project management and supply chain strategy
to reflect anticipated industry developments.
