“Uniper is a great company operating in an industry experiencing a pivotal moment in its history. In addition, the world is in the midst of unprecedented and challenging times in which the management board needs a supervisory board that ensures support and stability,” he said after his election.

Maubach began his career in the energy sector in 1995. Over the last 25 years, he has fulfilled many leadership roles in several other energy companies and on other supervisory boards such as ABB Deutschland and Finnish Fortum, the new owner of Uniper.

Uniper CEO Andreas Schierenbeck said Maubach and the other supervisory board members brought "tremendous expertise in the energy sector" and would "be of great support to us.”
