Düsseldorf welcomes Annette Grabbe as the latest addition to the Rhine's Board of Directors.

Annette Grabbe, a seasoned business administration graduate, has joined Rheinbahn's board, bringing her expertise to one of Germany's strongest local public transport companies. Grabbe's appointment was warmly welcomed by the supervisory board, with Chairman Andreas Hartnigk describing her as sympathetic, results-oriented, and possessing a strong financial and entrepreneurial focus.

Grabbe, who comes from Westenergie Netzservice GmbH, will start her tenure at Rheinbahn on June 1, 2023, replacing Susanne Momberg who is retiring. The new board member's role at Rheinbahn is not yet specified, but her involvement in hydrogen mobility initiatives is already making waves.

In her previous role at Westenergie Netzservice GmbH, Grabbe was most recently responsible for developing new business areas, commercial and commercial management, quality management, and digitalization. This background is expected to prove invaluable as Rheinbahn continues to innovate and adapt to the changing landscape of public transport.

Grabbe's interest in hydrogen mobility is evident, having played a key role in the launch of a new hydrogen refuelling station in Düsseldorf, scheduled for mid-2025. She is motivated to contribute to the climate-friendly design of the transport transition and is excited for the challenges and opportunities that await her at Rheinbahn.

Despite the excitement surrounding her new role, Grabbe has not expressed any plans to obtain a tram driver's license. Information about her personal life, including her marriage and three children, is not provided in the quote.

Board members Klaus Klar and Michael Richarz are looking forward to working with Grabbe in the future, expressing their confidence in her abilities to contribute to Rheinbahn's continued success. Grabbe, in turn, is equally enthusiastic about her new challenge and is eager to meet and work with her colleagues at Rheinbahn.

Grabbe's first day at Rheinbahn was on March 4, 2023, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her career. As she settles into her role, the public transport sector can expect to see innovative solutions and a strong focus on sustainability from this dynamic new member of Rheinbahn's board.
