Andy Goggin Takes Leadership of Hitachi Energy’s Americas Business
Hitachi Energy has appointed Andy Goggin as Executive Vice President and Head of the Americas Region, effective July 27, 2026. He succeeds Anthony Allard, who will continue serving as the company's Chief Marketing & Sales Officer while stepping away from regional leadership responsibilities.
Goggin brings more than 27 years of experience in the energy sector, having held leadership roles spanning sales, business development, and organizational transformation. Before joining Hitachi Energy, he served in senior executive positions at Siemens Energy, most recently leading New Generation Sales for North America.
In his new role, Goggin will oversee Hitachi Energy's operations across North and South America, guiding the company's regional strategy, customer engagement, and business growth. His appointment comes as utilities across the Americas accelerate investments in transmission infrastructure, grid modernization, renewable energy integration, and digital technologies to meet rising electricity demand.
According to Hitachi Energy, the Americas remain a key growth region as utilities expand and modernize power networks to improve reliability, support electrification, and accommodate increasing renewable energy capacity. The company said the leadership transition is intended to strengthen its regional organization and support customers navigating the evolving energy landscape.
Claudio Facchin, Chief Executive Officer of Hitachi Energy, said Goggin's leadership experience and knowledge of the energy sector position him well to guide the company's continued growth across the Americas. Goggin said he looks forward to working with customers and partners to help build a more resilient, flexible, and sustainable power system.
