Leu, former Managing Director of Conergy Solar Module GmbH in Frankfurt

management experience to the operation of the solar module production
technology company.
Mr. Leu’s past career has seen him work with companies such as Fabrisolar AG, Küsnacht, Suntechnics GmbH and Hamburg (DE), as well as his most recent role with Conergy, where he was instrumental in building up its Frankfurt (Oder) solar factory. He studied engineering at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich.
