The position of chief operational officer (COO) will be assumed by Patrick Harnett, who is currently Head of European Execution Programmes at Ørsted and leads the project development and construction of Hornsea 3, which is set to become the single largest offshore wind farm globally. Having joined Ørsted in 2016, he was also Senior Programme Director for Hornsea 2.
Thomas Thune Andersen, Chair of Ørsted’s Board of Directors, said the appointments will “bring strong international financial skills and execution skills to the Group Executive Team and support the successful implementation of the strategy plan" that was announced on February 7, 2024.
