GE has appointed Azeez Mohammed as the President and CEO of GE Energy Connections’ Power Conversion business, effective July 11, 2016.
Mohammed comes to Power Conversion from his most recent role as President and CEO of GE’s Power Services business for Middle East and Africa.
Responsible for continuing to build the Power Conversion business, Mohammed will notably strengthen the capacity of Power Conversion’s service network especially in emerging markets, GE said.
“Azeez brings both global and operational expertise to our business and will be a great add to the Energy Connections leadership team. He will be driving commercial and operational excellence for the Power Conversion business and its customers,” said Russell Stokes, President and CEO of GE Energy Connections and Senior Vice President of GE.
Azeez Mohammed will be based at Power Conversion’s headquarters in Paris.
In January, GE Power Conversion signed a contract to equip offshore wind turbines manufactured by Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment (Sewind) with 4MW Fully Fed LV3 wind converters.
