Recharge appoints Darius Snieckus as new Editor-in-Chief

Snieckus, a journalist with over 20 years' experience in the global energy industry, has served as Technology Editor at Recharge since its launch in 2009. Previous to this, he covered the offshore oil industry, writing for high-profile titles including Offshore Engineer, the Oil & Gas Journal, and the Petroleum Economist.

Svein-Thore Gran, head of the NHST Media Group’s Global division, said: "We have a strong commitment to serve the energy markets with high-value information and will continue to invest in and expand our titles within the renewable-energy sector.

"Recharge continues to change in time with the fast-paced evolution of the global renewable-energy industries."

Snieckus’ appointment coincides with a strategic reorganisation at Recharge that positions the industry-leading renewable-energy title around a redeveloped digital platform.

"We have assembled a group of journalists since Recharge's launch that is second to none. The reorganisation retains the knowledge and intelligence Recharge has built its name on and will be a foundation for growth going forward," he said. 

"The message is clear from our readership and our global network of editorial contacts: they want news, analysis and provocative, high-impact features of a standard now indivisible from the Recharge brand, delivered with immediacy on-screen.

"Recharge magazine, which has rightly become highly regarded for content and design, will continue to be an engaging dossier of new-energy business, ideas and people."

With Snieckus' appointment, Online Editor Andrew Lee takes up the role of Managing Editor, Online, and Leigh Collins moves from Deputy Editor to Managing Editor whilst a newly configured commercial team has been expanded with experienced additional staff to focus on both print and online sales.
