Eco Wave Power Global AB (Eco Wave Power), a leading onshore wave energy technology company, has announced the election of Hilary E. Ackermann to its Board of Directors, following approval at the Company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Ms. Ackermann, who previously served on Eco Wave Power’s Advisory Board, is a recognized leader in energy sustainability, corporate governance, and risk management. Her transition to the formal Board of Directors reflects the Company’s commitment to strengthening its global leadership team as it accelerates commercialization—particularly in the United States.

Ms. Ackermann’s appointment comes at a strategically significant time for the Company, ahead of the official opening of Eco Wave Power’s first US wave energy project at the Port of Los Angeles, developed in collaboration with Shell and AltaSea.

“We are honored to welcome Hilary to our Board of Directors,” said Inna Braverman, CEO of Eco Wave Power. “Her distinguished career in clean energy oversight, risk strategy, and governance will be instrumental as we scale our global footprint and continue integrating wave energy into the renewable power mix.”

Ms. Ackermann currently serves on the Board of Directors of Vistra Energy, where she chairs the Sustainability and Risk Committee and is a member of the Generation and Safety Oversight Committee. She has over three decades of experience in the energy and financial sectors, including senior roles at Goldman Sachs and Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS). Her prior board experience includes Dynegy Inc., Apollo Investment Corporation, Credit Suisse Holdings (USA), and several Hartford investment funds.

In recognition of her boardroom leadership, Ms. Ackermann was named to the NACD Directorship 100 in 2020 and listed among Women Inc.’s Most Influential Corporate Directors in 2018.

“I am excited to join Eco Wave Power’s Board of Directors and contribute to the Company’s mission of delivering scalable, cost-efficient wave energy solutions,” said Ackermann. “Eco Wave Power’s pioneering technology and expanding project pipeline represent a compelling model for renewable energy innovation, and I look forward to supporting its strategic growth and governance.”

With this appointment, Eco Wave Power strengthens its corporate governance framework and reinforces its long-term commitment to excellence, transparency, and sustainability in the energy transition.
