Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has announced Clive Turton as president of its new sales business unit for the Asia-Pacific region.

The company last week had announced a re-organisation of its business in the region, with one unit to cover China and Mongolia from April 1 onwards, and another all other Asia-Pacific countries, including India.

Based in Singapore, Turton comes with more than 15 years of experience from Asia-Pacific markets, most recently as the chief executive of Asia Power Development Platform, a power generation development company established through a joint venture between Australian financial services provider Macquarie and German power generation company STEAG.
