Plug Power Hires Benjamin Haycraft as VP Strategy & Business
Development Europe
Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a leading provider of turnkey
hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, announces
Benjamin Haycraft as the Company’s newest Vice President of
Strategy and Business Development, Europe. This appointment
confirms Plug Power's desire to accelerate its development
opportunities in Europe.
Before joining Plug Power, Benjamin Haycraft advised the Company
as a Santander banker, resulting in the announcement of the
joint-venture projects at the start of 2021 with European leaders
including the Renault Group in France and Acciona in the Iberian
Peninsula. Located in France, Benjamin Haycraft will be responsible
for executing the European Plug Power strategy, sourcing external
growth opportunities, acting as commercial interface between Plug
Power and its partners, and deploying green hydrogen generation and
distribution infrastructure on a large scale across Europe.
Plug Power has been providing hydrogen and fuel cell solutions
in Europe for more than 10 years often in partnership with key
European companies like Carrefour, IKEA, BMW and GAUSSIN. Plug
Power has strong development ambitions in Europe and is aligned to
significantly strengthen its presence in the coming months in fuel
cell-powered on-road commercial mobility, green hydrogen generation
and distribution and large scale electrolyzer markets.
Mr. Haycraft will report to Sanjay Shrestha, Chief Strategy
Officer at Plug Power and general manager of the Energy Solutions
division. “It’s undeniable. Europe will play a key role in the
emergence of a green hydrogen economy,” said Mr. Shrestha. “I am
delighted for Benjamin to join the Plug Power team. I believe he
has already seen first-hand that Plug Power is unique because it
can connect the entire hydrogen value chain to deploy turnkey and
competitive solutions today. His strategic skill set will only help
open doors to further European commercialization."
On the back of a broad international experience (New York,
Madrid, Paris), Benjamin Haycraft had recently taken on the
responsibility of the ESG Corporate Finance group for the Santander
Bank, after having built the bank’s expertise on hydrogen over the
past three years. He has spent more than ten years in finance and
investment banks and focused on clean mobility and renewable energy
topics.
