As of her availability latest October 2020, Elena Skvortsova will join the Executive Board and take over the role of Chief Commercial Officer. 

Chairman of the Supervisory Board Wolfgang C. Berndt: “By appointing Elena Skvortsova, we have managed to bring on board an excellent manager with broad international experience. Her international management experience, cross-sector expertise, and familiarity with transformation processes make Elena Skvortsova the ideal person for this post. The energy transition will cause far-reaching changes in the different markets and sectors that will occur at different paces. The main focus of Marketing & Trading will be to leverage these changes across the entire product portfolio in a way that is both proactive and flexible”.
