a PhD in business administration, will join the company on 1 May 2017 and

commercial management of international groups and medium-sized, listed
companies. For the last seven years, he served as Finance Director of a
leading global manufacturer of technical products and specialty papers with
a sales volume of some USD 550 million and more than 1,400 employees. Prior
to that, as CFO, he successfully led VERBIO AG in Leipzig to the stock
