Fastned appoints country directors for France, Switzerland and Denmark

Moves are part of what it describes as the next phase of its growth across the continent.

Fastned has named three new country directors as the European fast charging company moves into what it describes as the next phase of its growth across the continent.

Sarah Wodehouse takes the helm in France, where Fastned surpassed 50 stations in 2025 and has secured recent tender wins positioning it at the forefront of the country's shift to electric service areas. She succeeds Pierre Courgeon, who moves into a new strategic operational role.

Christine Zingg-Graf will lead Switzerland, a market where Fastned holds a major concession package under the federal highway programme awarded by ASTRA. "Switzerland sits at the heart of European EV travel," Zingg-Graf said, "and our ambition is to make driving within the country — whether for business, commuting or holidays — feel effortless."

Jesper Krüger Soendergaard, a senior commercial leader with a track record in the Scandinavian energy sector, will head Denmark, which Fastned identifies as a high-potential market where infrastructure networks are being shaped now.

The three appointments take effect this spring. Fastned's COO Françoise Poggi said the move signals the company's intent to "win the right locations, build the highest quality network, and move at the pace Europe's transition demands."

Fastned currently operates over 400 fast charging stations across nine countries and is targeting a network of 1,000 large, scalable charging locations by 2030.
