OTI Greentech AG, a fast growing international Cleantech-solutions provider, whose shares are traded on the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange, has expanded its management board by three persons to a total of four. In doing so, the company is laying the foundation for further profitable growth after the successful completion of the merger.

The Norwegian Johnny Christiansen, with decades of experience in leading positions in the maritime and engineering sectors and as CEO of two listed companies, has been appointed CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the company. Christiansen is a founder and major shareholder in Visionaire Invest AS, a large shareholder in VTT und RADA, the companies in which OTI Greentech owns a majority stake. Ralf Groenemeyer, until now member of the supervisory board of the company, has been appointed as CFO (Chief Financial Officer). The financial specialist has many years of experience in leading positions as an analyst and capital markets advisor. A trained chemist with doctorate, Dr. John C. Kisalus, who has extensive experience in leading positions in the Cleantech-, oil- and chemicals sectors, has been appointed CTO (Chief Technical Officer).
