Strengthening the Management Team at Ampermo – Maximilian Heilgemair Appointed Managing Director Utility Scale

We are very pleased to announce that Maximilian Heilgemair has joined the management team of Ampermo as of today. In this role, he will lead Ampermo’s Utility Scale division. Together with Professor Dr. Julia Daecke, who oversees our Corporate & Industry division, and CEO Mahinde Abeynaike, he completes the company’s executive leadership.

Max builds on his previous role as Head of Business Development, in which he played a key role in scaling Ampermo’s large-scale photovoltaic and battery storage projects.

With more than 13 years of experience in infrastructure and renewable energy, he brings extensive expertise in project development, financing, and M&A. His career led him from investment banking at UniCredit to MEAG and Amber Infrastructure, and ultimately to Ampermo. Over the course of his career, Max has been responsible for equity investments in the triple-digit million range and has successfully served on supervisory boards.

His new role is fully focused on profitable growth:

  • Expansion of the project pipeline through in-house greenfield development and the acquisition of high-quality photovoltaic and battery storage projects
  • Further increases in execution speed and quality through process optimization, maximum digitalization, and structured organizational development
  • Targeted expansion of strong partnerships within the renewable energy ecosystem

“Max brings exactly what Ampermo needs for the next stage of scaling – an entrepreneurial yet critical mindset, a high level of indispensable experience, and strong leadership skills. He has already demonstrated all of this in his work at Ampermo so far. I am very pleased to welcome him as a partner in the management team.” — Mahinde Abeynaike, CEO

Reiner Schränkler, Chairman of the Advisory Board, adds: “Max Heilgemair is an excellent addition to the management team, and Ampermo’s customers and partners will greatly benefit from his expertise and commitment. Completing the management team is a crucial foundation for executing our ambitious growth strategy.”

Congratulations on your new role, Max!
