GETEC announces change of leadership in Germany: Dr Guido Zimmermann succeeds Dr Thomas Stephanblome as CEO
GETEC announces a change of leadership in Germany. Dr Thomas Stephanblome, who has led GETEC Germany as CEO for almost four years, will leave the company on February 28, 2026 to take up a new challenging CEO role in the energy industry. From March 1, Dr Guido Zimmermann takes over the responsibility as CEO of GETEC Germany.
With this handover, GETEC ensures that the successful cooperation with customers, partners and municipalities in Germany will continue seamlessly, stably and with a clear strategic orientation.
Dr Thomas Stephanblome has made a decisive contribution to the further development of GETEC's business in Germany with the successful implementation of important projects in the industrial and property sectors. "The past four years at GETEC Germany have been marked by great challenges and an exceptionally strong team spirit. I am grateful for the trust and proud of what we have achieved together in industrial and property projects. GETEC is in an excellent position and I wish the team and my successor every success in the next steps," says Dr Thomas Stephanblome.
As the new CEO, Dr Guido Zimmermann will continue to develop GETEC Germany and rely on an experienced management team. He has ideal prerequisites for this role and stands for continuity and stability. He has been a member of the Executive Committee of GETEC for over six years and has already successfully led national subsidiaries, including as CEO of GETEC Switzerland and the Netherlands. He also has many years of extensive management experience in key industries such as energy, infrastructure, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
"I would like to thank Pierre-Alain Graf and GETEC for their trust. Together with the experienced management team, we will further develop our proven quality and help our customers to increase profitability and efficiency and implement their decarbonisation goals in an even more targeted manner. I look forward to further deepening the partnerships and advancing impactful, commercially attractive solutions for the energy transition," says Dr Guido Zimmermann.
"This handover underlines our confidence in internal talent and our proven leadership model with strong, self-reliant local platforms. We would like to thank Thomas for his high level of commitment and wish him every success. His strong customer focus has contributed significantly to the growth of the business. He always had an open ear for the employees," says Pierre-Alain Graf, CEO of GETEC. "With Guido as the new CEO, we will continue and accelerate the transformation of the German business in a stable manner. I am convinced that we will continue to expand our partnership with customers this year and jointly implement numerous innovative solutions for the energy transition."
For customers and partners, the change in management will not change anything in terms of cooperation: responsibilities, projects, priorities and points of contact remain the same. The proven service quality and speed of response will be consistently improved. GETEC thus emphasises that customers can count on stability, reliability and progress.
