Dr. Alexander Jäger-Bloh
Executive director
More than 20 years ago, Alexander Jäger-Bloh built his first wind turbine. At the time, he was still a veterinarian by day and a part-time farmer. He has retained his love for nature until today. Since the beginning, the deanGruppe has grown continuously, so that Jäger-Bloh began focusing exclusively on his company in 1998, initially with wind power and later with solar energy, as well. He is the founder, driving force, and heart of the Group – a pioneer of renewable energy who always skillfully fills his sails with wind and discovers new horizons.

Ulrich Schmall has 20+ years in renewable energies along the entire value chain of a project. Ulrich has extensive experience in developing and financing European renewable transactions and has worked on the project development as well as equity and debt structuring for wind and photovoltaic transactions.
