The newly appointed management of Vortex Energy is implementing a new business model for the company. 

In Vortex Energy, a company belonging to the Vitol group, significant changes have occurred in the composition of the management board. The Supervisory Board has approved the decision to appoint Justine Ryan as the CEO. Adam Błażeczek is responsible for the company’s finances, while Maciej Przybylski oversees operational activities. The changes in leadership arise from ambitious investment plans and the continuous development of the company.

Having served as CEO since January 2019, Maciej Pepliński has been appointed to the position of Chief of Staff (CoS). Previously involved in strategic management, he will now coordinate and support the leadership actions of the company in his new role.

– Changes in key positions in the management of Vortex Energy are of paramount importance for the company’s strategic plans. According to the new business model, the company will become an independent renewable energy producer in Poland and Europe – explains Justine Ryan, CEO of Vortex Energy.

Vortex Energy was acquired by the Vitol Group in January 2023. Within the first 12 months it commenced the construction of a portfolio of wind and photovoltaic projects with a combined capacity of 110 MW, investing $123 million, with completion planned by mid-2025.
