Effective June 1, 2026, Bjorn Krausmann will be appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for a term of three years. Together with CEO Julian Cassutti, he will drive the company's growth strategy as part of a two-member Management Board.
The planned expansion of the Management Board to include a CFO represents a significant step in the planned further development of the organization and, at the same time, takes into account the increasing internationalization of the business.
