Thomas Stephanblome takes over leadership of GETEC Platform Germany
Magdeburg, May 18, 2022
As of this week, GETEC Plattform Deutschland has a new platform CEO in Dr. Thomas Stephanblome. Thomas Stephanblome takes over the position from Michael Lowak. Stephanblome was previously responsible for the industrial segment of Platform Germany and also sits on the GETEC Group's highest management level, the Group Executive Committee, as the Group's Chief Sales Officer (CSO).
After graduating with a degree in engineering, Dr. Thomas Stephanblome completed his doctorate in electrical engineering at the Technical University of Dortmund. He was subsequently responsible for the development of regenerative and decentralized energy supply systems in both medium-sized and corporate structures, including at E.ON. In October 2019, he joined GETEC and was initially responsible for International Affairs in the Industry segment, then in April 2020 he took on the additional role of CSO in the Industry segment and finally, since 2022, the role of CSO for the entire GETEC Group.
Group CEO Thomas Wagner explains: "Over the years, Michael Lowak has been a major force behind GETEC's success in the German real estate segment, where he has a wealth of expertise coupled with great foresight on regulatory developments and driven by a clear commitment to sustainability. I am very pleased that we can continue to work closely with him in the area of innovative technologies and business models. Thomas Stephanblome is an experienced manager who has already built up Platform Germany together with Michael Lowak. I look forward to our continued collaboration."
"After almost 10 years of management responsibility at GETEC Germany, most of that time as CEO of the real estate segment and over 20 years as a board member or managing director in the industry, it was time for new challenges. It was important for me to drive the further development of Platform Germany in the last few months so that I could hand over a well-positioned business to my successor Thomas Stephanblome. This also included the strengthening of the management team in Germany with the CFO Björn Kablitz and the COO Vural Oeczan. I am looking forward to being able to devote myself to new tasks relating to decarbonization in Germany and Europe in the future. This in the certainty that Thomas Stephanblome is a worthy successor who will certainly further advance Platform Germany," explains Michael Lowak.
Thomas Stephanblome adds: "I am looking forward to the enhanced task and thank you for the trust you have placed in me. In Germany, too, we are facing enormous challenges in view of the political developments and the crisis on the energy market. GETEC Platform Germany is excellently positioned to meet these challenges. The great support, also from our new investor, and the tremendous response from our customers to our sustainable solutions encourage us that we can face the future with great confidence and will secure GETEC's further growth."
