About

Heading a strong, cross-functional team of 20 people for Vestas, a Danish manufacturer, seller and servicer of wind turbines, Alejandro García Granda has been active in some of the most significant transactions and projects. For example, in 2013, he was responsible for the closing of the Tafila project, the first utility-scale renewable-energy project in Jordan and the wider region. He concedes that it was a particularly challenging project, both due to compliance with unfamiliar regulation and the adjustment to the cultural and religious context. The economic crisis had a major impact on the Vestas operations in the European market, and García Granda has been at the forefront, introducing new policies to better adjust with the company’s new focus on emerging markets. Prior to his current role at Vestas, García Granda was part of the in-house team of Iberdrola, which he joined shortly after its inception, while he has also worked as part of the audit team within Ernst & Young.
