The company has appointed Xabier Etxeberria to the newly-created role.
Etxeberria joins the company from the automotive arm of engineering group GKN, where he spent 10 years at the GKN Driveline division.
Etxeberria's appointment was announced by Ignacio Martín, Gamesa’s recently-appointed executive chairman – who also spent a large part of his career at GKN.
Martin – who replaced former Gamesa boss Jorge Calvet in March – unveiled the appointment as he made his first appearance at a meeting of the company’s shareholders.
