The environmental scientist and MBA has been working in leadership positions in various organisations in the climate and energy sector for over ten years. Thies will lead the organisation as Executive Director together with current Agora Managing Director Markus Steigenberger. She will primarily work in Agora’s Brussels office, strengthening the think tank’s European work.
Previously, Frauke Thies led the climate domain at Open Society Foundations Europe and held senior leadership positions at various associations such as Smart Energy Europe (smartEn) and SolarPower Europe in Brussels. Since 2016, she has repeatedly been voted the most important non-institutional influencer in the EU energy policy field in Euractiv’s EurActory40 ranking.
In her new role as Executive Director, she reports directly to the Supervisory Board. “With her European and international experience, Frauke Thies is the ideal Executive Director for the increasingly global Agora. Together with her, we will work towards consistent implementation of the climate targets, and are very well prepared for the climate and energy policy challenges of the coming years,” said the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Agora Energiewende, R. Andreas Kraemer.
