At the same time, Stephen Kimmich, Chief Financial officer, has also been appointed Deputy Chief Executive officer effective 1 January 2024. Dr Kimmich has been Chief Financial Officer since 2020.
There are no changes to the responsibilities of the other members of the Management Board, Christoph Müller (responsible for the digital & webfed segment), Ralf Sammeck (responsible for the sheetfed segment) and Michael Ulverich (COO).
Similarly, the contract durations continue to apply unchanged. The Supervisory Board has not taken any further decisions regarding the composition of the Management Board.
