hep global Appoints Martin Vogt as CEO in Leadership Shakeup

The hep global Group, a specialist in solar project development and battery energy storage systems (BESS), has announced a significant leadership transition. Martin Vogt, 44, has taken over as Chief Executive Officer effective immediately, succeeding company founder Christian Hamann, 55, who stepped down after nearly 17 years but remains on the management team as Chief Financial Officer. Hamann had already assumed responsibility for the finance division in May 2026. This carefully planned succession aims to ensure continuity in corporate leadership and a clear distribution of management responsibilities. Vogt, who joined hep global in early 2024 and most recently served as Chief Project Officer overseeing global project development, played a key role in advancing the company's project business. As CFO, Hamann will focus on financial management, while the management team is rounded out by Georg von Eichendorff Strachwitz, who has served as Chief Operating Officer since 2021.

In his statement, Hamann expressed gratitude for the trust of employees, customers, and partners over the past 17 years, noting the company's contribution to the energy transition as an international developer of solar energy projects. He emphasized that Vogt knows the company, markets, and strategic priorities well, and that his own continued role as CFO allows for clear lines of responsibility and continuity. Vogt thanked founders Christian Hamann and Thorsten Eitle, as well as other shareholders, for their trust and contributions. He highlighted hep global's extensive experience in international solar project development and its established platform in core markets. Vogt noted that the company has consistently adapted its organizational and cost structures to changing market conditions, laying the groundwork for the next phase of development. The focus remains on strengthening its position as a reliable partner for solar and battery storage projects, with a commitment to strategic continuity, a focus on core European markets, and targeted new growth initiatives.

The hep global Group is an owner-managed company from Baden-Württemberg, Germany, with over 15 years of experience in developing and planning renewable energy projects, primarily in Europe, Japan, and North America. Its strategic focus is on greenfield developments and the integration of BESS. The company employs around 120 people worldwide, with subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, Poland, the USA, Canada, and Japan.
