Gasunie CFO Janneke Hermes announces departure in 2025
Press release
Today Gasunie is announcing that CFO Janneke Hermes has decided to leave Gasunie with effect from the end of February 2025. At that point, Janneke Hermes will have been employed by Gasunie for almost 23 years, more than 5 of which in the role of CFO. She was also acting CEO for several months following Han Fennema’s departure in October 2023. Over the course of 2025, Janneke Hermes will continue her career as CFO and Executive Board member of Royal Wagenborg in Delfzijl.
Diederik Samsom, Supervisory Board chair: 'We are enormously grateful to Janneke Hermes for her contribution to Gasunie’s development over many years. Janneke innovated the role of Chief Financial Officer by ensuring that the focus of Gasunie’s decision-making and operations is on broad prosperity. Her financial leadership played a crucial role in Gasunie’s development as a sustainable energy infrastructure company and pioneer in the energy transition.'
Janneke Hermes: 'I’ve worked at Gasunie since 2002. It’s a fantastic company, with all our colleagues who spend every day ensuring energy security for households and companies in the Netherlands, Germany and our neighbouring countries. As CFO, I was able to play my part in the development and creation of our sustainable investment agenda and countless new Gasunie projects in the fields of hydrogen, heat, biomethane and CCS. So after 23 years, I’ll be leaving with a tear in my eye, but above all a firm belief in Gasunie’s bright future, to start a new chapter in my career.'
The Supervisory Board has started the procedure to find a successor for Janneke Hermes as CFO.
