Søren Skou, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of A.P. Moller-Maersk (“Maersk”), has joined Skyborn Renewables (“Skyborn”) as Chair of the Advisory Board.

“We are delighted to welcome Søren to Skyborn. His proven leadership skills and his deep understanding of, and appreciation for, the global energy transition make him an excellent choice for Chair of the Board of Skyborn Renewables,” said Raj Rao, President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP). “Søren will be a valued advisor and we are pleased to have him on board.”

 

During his tenure as CEO of Maersk from 2016 to 2022, Skou led a significant transformation of the company from a diversified conglomerate into an integrated, digitized and customer-centric global logistics company with a strong focus on sustainable growth.

 

“I am very pleased to join Skyborn,” said Skou. “As offshore wind continues to grow to support global decarbonization needs, combined with GIP’s partnership and role as one of the world’s leading infrastructure investors, I look forward to the future.”

 

Skyborn was launched in 2022 by GIP, a leading infrastructure investor, following the acquisition of 100% of the business which was previously operated as wpd offshore.
