France is its fourth-largest market after the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.Given the market’s importance, France has long had a country director, Pierre Courgeon, who will now transition to a new strategic role within the company. He will focus on strengthening Fastned’s operational leadership while continuing to support the development of the French business.Sarah Wodehouse will succeed him as Country Director for France. Her task is to ensure a smooth transition from rapid market entry to sustainable, market-shaping growth. Wodehouse joins Fastned from BlaBlaCar, where she spent over seven years in various roles, most recently as Head of Business Transformation.In Switzerland, Fastned launched at the end of 2020 and now operates 14 charging parks. Christine Zingg-Graf has taken on the role of country manager, having previously worked at SBB. Based on a concession package from Astra, Fastned is expanding its network with motorway sites and locations near cities and transport hubs. Zingg-Graf will now drive this expansion.“Switzerland sits at the heart of European EV travel, and our ambition is to make driving within the country, whether for business, commuting or holidays, feel effortless, Urban centres and agglomerations are becoming just as critical as the highway network,” she said. “The next phase is about scaling with discipline: building at crucial locations, growing through strong local partnerships, and delivering that growth in a transparent and sustainable way.”In Denmark, where Fastned has been active since 2023 and plans to build nine additional charging parks alongside its three existing ones, Jesper Krüger Søndergaard will take on the role of Country Director. He previously worked at Norbro Energi for over twelve years and will pursue a multi-track growth strategy in Denmark, combining targeted tenders with privately acquired sites and partnerships to expand Fastned’s presence in the country.fastnedcharging.com
