Christian Barthélémy to step down as Head of People & Culture at Vattenfall

Christian Barthélémy has played an important role in the development of the People & Culture function during his tenure, including delivering on transforming the HR support systems and developing the organisation. He has also successfully contributed to the sale of Heat Berlin and the transition of colleagues to the new owner. He joined Vattenfall in 2009, working with human resource-related topics since 2015.

CEO Anna Borg comments on the decision:
“Christian has been a valued leader and a great colleague in our Executive Group Management team, and is someone that I appreciate a lot as a person. But after a period of discussions about the further development and future direction of the People & Culture function, we have jointly come to the conclusion that it is time for a different leadership in the function.”

Christian Barthélémy:
"It has been an honour to serve as Head of People & Culture at Vattenfall. While the time has come for me to move on, I leave People & Culture knowing that the organisation is in a strong position to continue its important work. I am proud of everything that we have accomplished together and would like to thank all my colleagues and my team. You are doing a great job.”

Vattenfall’s SVP and Head of Communications Åsa Jamal, who has previous experience in leading HR work, will step in as acting Head of People & Culture during the search for a new permanent solution.
