Solar infrastructure manufacturer Clenergy has announced the appointment of Haydn Fletcher as General Manager of Clenergy Australia and Samir Jacob as Global Marketing Director. These leadership changes aim to support the group’s development ambitions in key markets, particularly in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.

Strengthening regional leadership in Australia

With over 25 years of experience in the solar sector, Haydn Fletcher succeeds Vince Mobilio, who now becomes Vice President of Global Distribution. Fletcher previously held executive roles at Canadian Solar, where he managed business operations in Australia, Africa, and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) regions.

In his new role, Fletcher will oversee commercial strategies, the opening of new markets, and product development. He will also lead relations with regional distributors and partners, in a competitive Australian solar market.

Strategic appointment in global marketing

Samir Jacob returns to Clenergy to lead global marketing activities, having previously served as Global Marketing Manager between 2019 and 2024. His return comes at a time when the company is aiming to strengthen brand consistency across international markets.

With over 15 years of industry experience, Jacob will be responsible for defining communication strategies, supporting regional teams, and increasing visibility for Clenergy’s products and solutions in an increasingly segmented market.

Transition toward a more centralised organisation

Vince Mobilio, who led Clenergy Australia for 15 years, will now oversee global distribution strategy. This structural change aims to improve coordination between regional entities and consolidate the group’s international partnerships.

“His deep knowledge of the global distribution network is a major asset for our growth objectives,” said Daniel Hong, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Clenergy.
