Norwegian Offshore Wind is proud to present the new Working Group Leader for Poland and the Baltics: Svenn-Børge Vatland.

Svenn-Børge is Partner and CFO at Vestervind Contractors, a company specializing in advanced marine operations and related support services for renewable projects. Svenn-Børge has extensive experience in business development in various roles from venture capital and experience with the Polish market from previous employers and Vestervind’s collaborations with companies actively involved in offshore wind assignments in Poland.

A hotspot for offshore wind in Europe

- I am excited to take on the task of helping Norwegian Offshore Wind’s members succeed in the Polish market. Poland is a very exciting market and a hotspot for offshore wind in Europe, and this is a market that our industry should really pay attention to with several upcoming important developments, says Svenn-Børge Vatland.

The Working Group is supported by Business Development Manager in Norwegian Offshore Wind, Gyrid Espeland. Svenn-Børge takes the helm after Christian Vistrup from Energy Consult Offshore Wind.
