The supervisory board of ENERTRAG has decided to expand the management board and appoint Dr.-Ing. Anne Bendzulla, previously Head of IT Strategy and Operational Excellence at RWE, to the board.

Her expertise in the fields of plant engineering, renewable energies, and digitalization has been the foundation of her successful career. She has managed teams and complex projects in an international context in various management roles at RWE and thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. This unique combination makes her the ideal candidate for the new role of Head of Generation.
