Encavis Appoints Kevin Devlin as Supervisory Board Chairman on 1 August

(IN BRIEF) Kevin Devlin will become Chairman of Encavis’s Supervisory Board on 1 August 2025, succeeding Dr. Johannes Teyssen, who oversaw the company’s transition after its acquisition by a KKR-led consortium and will now serve as Deputy Chairman. Devlin’s election, confirmed at the AGM on 16 July 2025, caps the resolution of the take-private process, including the registration of the squeeze-out of minority shareholders. Encavis CEO Mario Schirru and outgoing Chairman Teyssen praised Devlin’s extensive renewable-energy leadership experience. The leadership change dovetails with Encavis’s 2024 partnership with KKR, Viessmann, and Abacon as the company pursues accelerated growth.

(PRESS RELEASE) HAMBURG, 3-Aug-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Encavis today announced that Kevin Devlin, newly elected by the Annual General Meeting on the Board’s recommendation, will take over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board effective 1 August 2025. He succeeds Dr. Johannes Teyssen, who had served in the role on an interim basis to guide Encavis through its transition following the company’s acquisition by a consortium led by KKR.

Dr. Teyssen, who was appointed transitional Chairman when Encavis was delisted and new Supervisory Board members were instated by the Hamburg court on 24 February 2025, will remain on the Board as Deputy Chairman. “Kevin Devlin brings decades of proven leadership in renewable energy across multiple international markets,” said Dr. Teyssen. “His expertise makes him the ideal person to steer our newly constituted Board and support management as we drive substantial growth in the years ahead.”

Mario Schirru, CEO of Encavis, expressed gratitude to Dr. Teyssen and welcomed Devlin’s appointment: “We thank Johannes for his steady guidance during this crucial phase and look forward to working with Kevin in his new capacity.”

Kevin Devlin added, “I am honored by the Supervisory Board’s confidence and eager to collaborate with the Management Board and my colleagues on the Supervisory Board. Together, we will advance Encavis’s strategic objectives and further the energy transition.”

This change in leadership follows the formal completion of the take-private process—marked by the squeeze-out registration with the Hamburg court—and aligns with Encavis’s strategic partnership formed in autumn 2024 with KKR, Viessmann, and Abacon.
