Clir Renewables, has announced the appointment of Tim Reitsma as Director of People and Culture. Formerly of FLIR Systems, SPARK Creations & Company, and co-founder of the People Managing People podcast, Tim will lead on ensuring Clir’s strong internal culture of innovation and diversity is reinforced and replicated as the firm expands into new technical and regional markets.
Clir’s platform uses artificial intelligence to analyse wind turbine and solar panel data in the context of the surrounding environment and the wider portfolio of assets. Tim joins Clir during a year of rapid growth and development, with the firm having increased the capacity of onshore and offshore wind assets analysed by its platform to 7 GW since the start of the year, expanded its technical offering to include solar PV optimisation, and reinforced its presence in the Latin American and Spanish markets with a number of senior hires. Alongside ongoing growth in existing markets, the company has now set its sights on optimising wind and solar assets in a number of new markets across the globe.
Throughout this growth, Clir has remained dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive, as well as confident and innovative, workforce. Earlier this year, the firm committed to the Equal by 30 campaign to promote gender equality within the organisation in terms of recruitment, wages, and leadership. At present, 40% of Clir’s leadership roles are currently held by women.
