Offshore wind developer Ørsted has appointed two members to its group executive team, effective May 1, according to an April 23 press release.

Amanda Dasch was named chief development officer and will lead Ørsted Commercial, which covers commercial activities across Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, the company said.

Dasch brings 20 years of energy industry leadership experience and is currently Ørsted’s CEO of the Americas region. She will also lead the company’s trading and revenue, group strategy and innovation and group stakeholder relations segments.
