Germany, Berlin: The Supervisory Board of 50Hertz Transmission GmbH has officially appointed Christine Janssen as the company’s new Chief Financial Officer, effective April 17, 2025. She takes over from Marco Nix, who became CFO of Elia Group on April 1.
In her new role, Janssen will oversee the financial operations of 50Hertz, one of Germany’s key electricity transmission system operators.
