Dr. Carsten Hoffmann, board member and Chief Financial Officer of MSIGEU: “With the consolidation of accounting and controlling, we are well-equipped to respond to the increasing complexity in the closing process, especially due to IFRS 17. This is also a significant step towards less hierarchy in a more agile finance function. I am particularly pleased that we were able to internally fill this new leadership position with Caroline Hoyer and Ute Tschentke, both of whom possess in-depth specialist knowledge and leadership experience.”
Marc A.
