Giles Dickson, WindEurope’s outgoing CEO, discusses the challenges and achievements of his ten-year tenure leading the trade body, offers some sound advice to his successor and tells Windpower Monthly why he is going back to school. 

Earlier this summer, the wind industry received a shock announcement that Dickson will be stepping down at the end of 2025 to pursue a career as a schoolteacher in England.

Following his announcement, Windpower Monthly’s editor, Ian Griggs, interviewed the outgoing CEO and asked him to reflect on his decade leading WindEurope, including how global events shaped his tenure, his achievements and why he chose this moment for a change of direction.
