Effective as of 1 January 2024, Steffen Baetjer, Executive Director Controlling since August 2023, succeeds Georg Alexander Zeiss as CFO of Fielmann Group AG.

“As we advance the digitalisation and internationalisation of our family business in line with our Vision 2025, we experience strong growth while the complexity of our business model inevitably increases. Steffen’s analytical mindset and his proven track record in building teams that deliver exceptional performance will be a great contribution in streamlining our core processes and elevating efficiency on a global scale”, says CEO Marc Fielmann.
