Hydrogen Production Leader ITM Power Names Linde’s Jürgen Nowicki as New Chair
June 10, 2025ITM Power is gearing up for a big shift in leadership, announcing that Jürgen Nowicki—the former CEO of Linde Engineering—will step in as its new Non-Executive Chair starting January 2026. He’ll be taking the reins from Sir Roger Bone, and the timing couldn’t be more strategic as ITM moves full-speed ahead from its early-stage development into large-scale production of PEM electrolysers for green hydrogen.
A seasoned expert steps in at just the right time
With over three decades of experience in the world of industrial gases and hydrogen infrastructure, Nowicki’s no stranger to this space. In fact, he’s already got some history with ITM—he was previously their board rep for Linde, so he knows the ins and outs of the business. After the news broke, ITM’s shares jumped 7.4%, a clear sign the market is buying into the fresh momentum he brings.
Expanding reach and scaling up
Based in Sheffield, ITM’s got big plans. With Nowicki’s global connections and deep industry know-how, the company is aiming to forge new partnerships, crank up its manufacturing capacity, and push further into sectors that are notoriously tough to decarbonize. It’s all part of a bigger push to position green hydrogen at the center of the clean energy revolution.
Hydrogen takes the spotlight in the energy transition
This leadership move is more than just a changing of the guard—it’s a signal that hydrogen production is stepping into a new phase of commercial growth and global cooperation. As governments and industries double down on sustainable energy solutions, ITM is making sure it’s ready to lead the way with its cutting-edge electrolysis technology and growing role in the future of clean power.
