My goal is to gain a comprehensive picture of Uniper, its culture, and its employees as quickly as possible.

Here I see Uniper in a very important role."
Uniper’s new CFO Sascha Bibert comments: “I am looking forward to being part of the Management Board team at Uniper and to applying my expertise at a company that has gained a great reputation in a very short period of time, both in the energy sector and in the capital market.
