Dr Jochen Ahn holds a doctorate in physical chemistry. Together with Matthias Bockholt, he founded the company in 1996. The company's then complicated (and not very SEO-friendly) name was later changed to ABO Wind AG (short for "Ahn & Bockholt") when it became a stock corporation. The families of both founders are majority shareholders and each own about 26 per cent of the stock. They both actively manage the company as Managing Directors. Before starting his own business, Ahn had worked as an expert for wind energy at the Ministry of the Environment of the German state of Hesse.
