Event Ambassadors

Our Event Ambassadors are key to shaping the vision and theme for the WindEurope Annual Event 2022. Working closely with the WindEurope conference team, they bring a wide range of expertise and experience to the table and set the agenda for Europe’s most important wind energy event.

Meet our Event Ambassadors and hear what they have to say about this year’s event!

Samuel Leopold

Chair

For more than twenty years, Iberdrola has pioneered the deployment of wind energy, maximizing the opportunities for our industry and reconverting traditional sectors, as shipyards or aeronautics. Onshore and offshore wind will be key to reach climate goals as part of a more electrified energy system, together with smart grids and storage. Wind energy delivers clean and competitive energy, creates new industries and massive local jobs and strengthens value chains. We look forward to showcasing our future plans at WindEurope’s Annual Event in our home city of Bilbao.

Josu Jon Imaz

Chief Executive Officer

We are a global multi-energy company, we firmly believe in wind energy as a sustainable, efficient and profitable resource that will help build a better future. Our firm commitment to low-carbon electricity generation includes a significant investment in wind projects in different countries with which we can guarantee the energy supply needed and contribute to improving people’s quality of life.

Jochen Eickholt

Chief Executive Officer

The wind industry is now leading the charge against climate change across Europe. We are not only decarbonising energy supply but also helping to build a new sustainable economy. To deliver the change Europe needs, however, we need to speed up the transition and can only do so with decisive action that will break down the barriers to progress. That can only happen in partnership with governments and other key institutional stakeholders and WindEurope is the forum for these discussions. We look forward to welcoming the entire wind industry to our home in Bilbao.
