Jürgen H. Lange leaving HSH Nordbank
Hamburg/Kiel, December 14, 2011 - Jürgen H. Lange, Head of Energy and Deputy Head of the Energy & Infrastructure BU at HSH Nordbank, is leaving HSH Nordbank at the end of the year at his own request in order to pursue fresh career challenges.
Mr. Lange will continue to be available to the Bank for work in the corporate bodies of Desertec Industrie Initiative, the Cluster Erneuerbare Energien Hamburg (renewable energies Hamburg cluster) and the Wind Offshore foundation for the time being.
After completing a degree in business studies, Jürgen H. Lange held various managerial positions within the Bank, both in Germany and abroad, in the Corporate Clients, Transportation and Real Estate BUs for a total of 28 years.
