FairWind, a leader in wind-turbine installation and service solutions, recently appointed Aitor Diaz de Lezana Fernández to the newly created role of regional head of service for Southern Europe, South America & South Africa (SESA).
Diaz de Lezana Fernández brings more than 19 years’ experience in the wind sector, having previously held a number of senior positions including head of operations — Mexico, Central America and Caribbean at Siemens Gamesa and LATAM service director at Nordex Group. He was most recently service director – Europe at SPIE Wind, where he led multi-country service teams, built scalable structures and delivered results across Europe.
In his new role, Diaz de Lezana Fernández will lead FairWind’s services across the SESA region, including all commercial and business development activity, while executing the company’s growing portfolio of service and maintenance projects. He will also focus on strengthening existing long-term partnerships with key customers, while establishing new customer bases across FairWind’s service lines.
“I’m thrilled to join FairWind at such a pivotal time for the renewable industry,” Diaz de Lezana Fernández said. “There are enormous opportunities to strengthen and grow our footprint in the SESA region, and I’m looking forward to building on a strong service organization that puts people first, delivers value to clients and contributes meaningfully to the energy transition. FairWind’s track record in delivering the highest safety and quality standards really attracted me to the position, and I am eager to further solidify this reputation across the key SESA countries.”
“Aitor brings an abundance of industry knowledge and expertise to FairWind,” said Jesus Garcia Mallo, SESA regional director. “His proven success in driving business growth across different geographies will be extremely valuable to the business as we continue our strategic growth plan across key regions.
“As the demand for wind-turbine installation continues to increase in line with the demand for clean energy, our services are vital to ensuring a safe and reliable source of wind energy. This means not only delivering new installations to grow capacity but also maintaining and optimizing existing turbines so they continue to perform at their best for years to come.” Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Vejle, Denmark, FairWind has more than 2,200 technicians operating in more than 40 countries. The company offers full-scope wind-turbine services across the lifecycle of renewable energy assets. As FairWind gears up for further global growth, the appointment of a regional head of SESA becomes the company’s second newly created role this year, after Alexandra Hof was appointed as the company’s first regional head of service for Northern Central Europe in July.
