Getech Group PLC
("Getech" or the "Company")
Appointment of Max Brouwers and Establishment of European
Subsidiary
Getech, a provider of geoscience and geospatial data, knowledge,
and software to the energy industry , is pleased to announce the
appointment of Max Brouwers as Chief Business Development Officer.
Max's primary focus will be to help drive the company's Energy
Transition growth strategy and expansion into the European and
global markets.
Max is a geoscientist and joins Getech from Shell, where he has
worked in a range of senior leadership roles across a 25-year
career. Most recently, Max was Leader of Energy Transition for
Global Exploration and Vice President of Exploration for
Europe-Russia-Caspian.
In these roles, he was responsible for a more than 100-member
organisation, developing growth opportunities in hydrocarbons,
carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), geothermal, and
strategic minerals. He has a track record in innovative deal
delivery.
Max also Chairs the prestigious American Association of
Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Energy Transition Forum and is a global
influencer in the application of geoscience to the Energy
Transition.
In tandem with Max's appointment, and to advance Getech's
international expansion plans, the Company intends to form a
European subsidiary. This subsidiary will position Getech in key
growth markets, where decarbonisation is being driven by the
European Green Deal, which is a suite of finance and business
initiatives to support Europe becoming climate neutral by 2050.
Max, a Dutch citizen located in the Netherlands, will head this
new European subsidiary, which will initially focus on geothermal
and green-hydrogen projects across the continent.
A Q&A with Max, providing further insight into his new role
with Getech and its place in supporting the Energy Transition, is
available on the Company's website - www.getech.com .
Dr Jonathan Copus, Getech CEO said:
"This is an exceptionally exciting period for Getech as we apply
our specialist geoscience and geospatial skills and technologies to
the Energy Transition. I am delighted that through the quality of
our offering and the transformational potential of our work, this
has enabled us to attract a business development leader of Max's
breadth, experience, and calibre.
Max's work as Leader of Energy Transition for Global Exploration
at Shell aligns him perfectly to our focus on business development
in hydrogen, carbon capture, geothermal and strategic minerals. His
leadership of our new European Subsidiary will also propel Getech
into multiple new geographies, where he will initially focus on
expansion opportunities in green-hydrogen production and geothermal
technologies, which Getech has a unique capability in
supporting.
In addition, as we continue to adapt our business model to take
direct ownership positions in companies such as H2 Green, we look
to the future with confidence; seeing multiple avenues for Getech
to increase sales, generate value and facilitate growth.
We look forward to updating shareholders on further
progress."
