Mendoza returns to Vestas after a brief stint as a vice president with Stirling Energy Systems, a solar company. Prior to that he had a 15-year career with Vestas working his way up from field technician to vice president of technology.
Sword is an experienced public affairs representative from the Ontario energy sector.
Vestas employs some 3,000 people in the United States and Canada, including about 400 people in Portland. Vestas employs more than 20,000 people worldwide.
