The supervisory board of RENK Group decided on 12 August 2024 on a change in the group’s executive board following Christian Schulz, CFO of RENK Group, asking the supervisory board to terminate his contract prematurely for personal reasons.
With the consent of the supervisory board, Schulz will leave the company with effect from 30 September 2024, while Anja Mänz-Siebje, Head of Corporate Finance and CFO of RENK GmbH, will be appointed chief financial and IT officer of RENK Group with effect from 1 October 2024.
In its 12 August press release the supervisory board said it deeply regretted Schulz’s decision and thanked him for his contribution to the success of RENK Group.
“Christian Schulz was decisive in shaping the listing of the RENK Group and the restructuring of corporate financing, thus setting the course for further sustainable growth. We would like to thank him most sincerely for this,” Claus von Hermann, chairman of the supervisory board, was quoted as saying.
“At the same time we look forward to continuing to work with Anja Mänz-Siebje in her future role,” Von Hermann added. “She is taking over the Finance and IT executive board department in an extremely successful phase for the company. As a proven financial expert with many years of management experience, she has excellent qualifications to drive the RENK Group’s continued growth.”
Susanne Wiegand, CEO of RENK Group, stated, “I deeply regret that my valued board colleague Christian Schulz has decided to take this step. Thanks to our trusting collaboration, we have achieved a great deal together. I look back on this with pride and gratitude and look forward to welcoming Anja Mänz-Siebje to the executive board team.”
Schulz himself added, “RENK is a great company with extraordinarily committed employees. Behind me lies an extremely exciting time in which we as the executive board team have successfully developed RENK. I am very pleased that we have found a suitable successor from within our own ranks in Anja Mänz-Siebje.”
Schulz was only in place as the CFO and an executive board member of RENK Group for just over a year, after being appointed to the position on 7 June 2023.
