Krogsgaard (pictured), who is Danish, will join Siemens Gamesa on 1 November.
Siemens Gamesa chief executive Andreas Nauen will take direct control of the business unit until Krogsgaard starts.
He will be based in the company´s Bilbao headquarters.
Krogsaard has been chief executive of Nordex Acciona as part of his 18-year career in the wind industry, which also includes a four year stint at Siemens Wind Power, where he served as chief executive for the EMEA region.
Siemens Gamesa has also appointed Beatriz Puente as the company’s chief financial officer.
Puente, a Spanish national who will be based in Madrid, joins the turbine maker on 1 December 2020 from NH Hotels where she has served as executive managing director finance and administration since 2015.
Thomas Spannring will continue in his role as interim CFO until Puente joins Siemens Gamesa.
Juan Gutierrez has been promoted to lead the company’s service unit as Mark Albenze is retiring.
Nauen said: “I am very pleased that we have been able to appoint three very talented and experienced executives into the team, and also that with these appointments we can diversify the leadership of the company.
“We are currently engaged in a turnaround process that aims to deliver long-term sustainable growth and profitability to Siemens Gamesa and we need a strong management team to drive that.
“Each of these individuals brings a different skillset and expertise that will not only help them to manage their functions but also lead the company.”
Gutierrez was most recently CEO of service for the Americas region within Siemens Gamesa.
Gutierrez, a Colombian national, will be based in Orlando, Florida and will assume his new role from 15 August.
Albenze will be retiring after almost 28 years with Siemens Gamesa and Siemens.
Nauen added: “I’d like to thank Thomas for his continued important work in his interim roles and Mark and Alfonso for their substantial contributions to the company.
“Mark has played a critical role in building a very successful and profitable service business unit and has been a great colleague over the years. I thank him for everything he has done for Siemens Gamesa and wish him a happy and healthy retirement.
“Alfonso joined onshore at a very difficult time for the business and I thank him for the energy and commitment he has brought to his role. He has begun a turnaround which we are committed to completing and I wish him well for the future.”
