TenneT Germany has appointed Kathrin Günther as chief transformation officer, effective 1 September 2025, as part of the company’s focus on digitalisation and organisational development following a recent structural reorganisation.
Günther will join the executive board and oversee IT, digital transformation, human resources, and corporate security. Her appointment comes after the company’s move earlier this year to split operations into two national entities—TenneT Netherlands and TenneT Germany—under a unified holding structure.
“Kathrin Günther is strengthening the executive board of TenneT Germany with a proven expert in digital transformation,” said Manon van Beek, chair of the supervisory board.
CEO Tim Meyerjürgens described her as “an ideal addition to our management team and an important step for TenneT Germany,” adding that the company aims to make transmission operations “digital, flexible, and the backbone of a future-proof energy system.”
Günther, who most recently served as chief operating officer at GFT Software Solutions, said digitalisation will play a critical role in the shift to cleaner energy. “The energy transition is one of the greatest transformation challenges of our time, and digitalisation plays a key role,” she said.
She added that artificial intelligence, automation, and process digitalisation would be essential to ensuring a “resilient, secure, and intelligent” energy system.
Günther brings experience from the industrial and technology sectors, with a focus on driving digital change at scale.
