The resignation of the fossil-to-wind trailblazer prompted an outpouring of tributes from normally hard-bitten financial analysts, who hailed his transformational role at the Danish group.
Poulsen was non-committal over his future plans, but confirmed they don't include leading the energy transition of another oil and & gas group.
The second high-profile exit was Markus Tacke at Siemens Gamesa "by mutual agreement". Unlike Poulsen, Tacke won't be hanging around until a successor is found – the turbine OEM immediately named offshore chief Andreas Nauen as his replacement.
