Pullach, 15 April 2021 - On its way to lead SIXT into the future as the number 1 digital and international mobility provider and to continue to successfully assert itself in a rapidly changing economic world, the company is adapting its finance division and strategically and decisively strengthening its management. As of 1 June 2021, the Supervisory Board is appointing Prof. Dr. Kai Andrejewski (53) to the Management Board of Sixt SE to serve as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with responsibility for Global Financial Performance, Corporate Finance, Tax, Legal and Governance & Controls. The company is appointing Sebastian Birkel (38), a long-time SIXT manager and former CEO for SIXT USA, a divisional Board member for the new Global Financial Performance division, in which the areas of Finance, Controlling and Vehicle Purchasing are being bundled. The finance department is thus being expanded to include the important area of vehicle purchasing. The new structure underscores the holistic orientation of Sixt SE's finance division with the objective of dovetailing cross-divisional information requirements.

Kai Andrejewski has over 25 years of impressive international experience, including 10 years as a regional Board member and Managing Partner at the renowned auditing firm KPMG. There, the Munich-based financial expert worked closely and successfully with global corporations in various industries for 18 years in total. The certified public accountant who holds a doctorate degree and tax consultant began his professional career in 1993 and held positions in Chicago, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Munich. As Managing Partner, he looked after well-known and globally active DAX and MDAX companies. He has also headed the KPMG Think Tank Audit Committee Institute since 2016. He was appointed Professor of Accounting and Auditing at the Private University of Applied Sciences in Göttingen in 2011.

In his new role, Kai Andrejewski succeeds Jörg Bremer, who is leaving SIXT on 1 June 2021 on the best of terms to pursue new professional challenges.

Friedrich Joussen, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sixt SE: "Prof. Dr. Andrejewski's many years of experience and knowledge, particularly in the areas of tax and capital market law as well as corporate governance, make him the ideal person to continue to accompany SIXT's growth strategy with continuity as well as reliable and solid financial planning. We are certain that he will make a decisive contribution to further advancing Sixt SE's successful course as a modern mobility service provider. We would like to thank his predecessor Jörg Bremer for his great commitment over the past three years and wish him all the best for his future career."
