We are proud to welcome Jakob Stausholm as Chairman of the Board beginning June 29th, 2026.
Jakob is one of the world’s most seasoned industry leaders. He has served as CEO of Rio Tinto and held senior leadership positions at A.P. Moller-Maersk, Shell, and ISS. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated how innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence can drive both growth and long-term impact. For Green Therma, his decision to join our Board reflects the strength of our technology, our team, and the opportunity ahead.
We founded Green Therma with the ambition to unlock geothermal energy’s full potential. Our team has developed a new generation of closed-loop geothermal technology designed to overcome many of the risks and limitations that have historically constrained geothermal deployment, enabling sustainable energy solutions in locations where conventional geothermal systems are not viable.
As we move from technology development into commercialization and international expansion, we could not ask for a stronger partner. “Jakob’s decision to join Green Therma is a powerful endorsement of our technology, our people, and our vision. For a company at our stage, attracting a leader of his caliber sends a strong signal about the potential of what we are building”, says Jørgen Peter Rasmussen, Founder & CEO.
We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to working closely with Jakob as we continue building Green Therma into a globally significant clean energy company.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Carl-Emil Larsen for his dedicated leadership as Chairman. Carl-Emil has played an instrumental role in Green Therma’s development, helping to strengthen the company during an important phase of our journey. We are very pleased that Carl-Emil will continue as a member of the Board, where his extensive experience in geology, the utility sector, and strategic leadership will remain a valuable asset to Green Therma.
