On 1 July, Dr Thomas Becker took over as the new Commercial Director at Thyssengas GmbH from Jörg Kamphaus, who is leaving the company after 18 years. Becker is responsible for Finance, Human Resources, IT and Purchasing.
The management team at Thyssengas thus consists of Dr. Thomas Gößmann, Chairman of the Management Board, and Dr. Thomas Becker.
According to the company, Becker joins Thyssengas in times of change; „instead of natural gas, hydrogen and other green gases will flow through the pipelines in the future“.
Becker now faces the challenge of organising the increase in personnel and managing the internal change process as part of the H2 ramp-up.
Hilko Schomerus, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, is delighted: „Dr. Thomas Becker has been closely involved with industry issues in recent years, first as Commercial Director of NCG and later as THE's Market Area Manager in the German gas market. We are delighted that we have been able to recruit a proven expert with many years of experience in managing companies in the regulated energy supply sector.“
Many years of experience in leading positions in the energy industry
Thomas Becker, who holds a doctorate in business administration, has been working in the energy industry since 1996. He already has personal experience of Thyssengas, which he first joined in 2004 as an authorised signatory with responsibility for corporate development, among other things. He previously held various management positions within the RWE Group.
Becker then became Commercial Managing Director at NetConnect Germany (NCG) in 2015. Most recently, he spent three years as Chief Financial Officer and member of the management board of the newly founded Trading Hub Europe (THE).
„Thyssengas is a forward-looking company with promising prospects - one thing is clear: we have big plans for the coming years“, says Becker about the company's future challenges. „Our goal is to successfully shape the transformation towards hydrogen and other green gases. At the same time, we need to fulfil our supply mandate in the natural gas business. As Commercial Director, I am looking forward to leading the company into a green future together with the Thyssengas team and thus making a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of Germany.“
