In implementing \u201cNext Generation\u201d, the KGAL Group\u2019s Board of Directors deliberately chose proven managers who have confidently steered the company through the turbulence of recent years (Covid 19, Ukraine war, interest rate turnaround). Florian Martin and Andr\u00e9 Z\u00fccker will take over the management of the company on 1 January, 2024. Gert Waltenbauer, CEO, and Dr Klaus Wolf, CIO, will step down as planned by the end of 2023. They have both been influential leaders at KGAL for more than 30 years and have played a significant role in the group\u2019s rise to becoming a stable, internationally successful investment and asset manager, with a managed investment volume of more than \u20ac16 billion.
\nThe new co-CEOs will drive the implementation of the \u201cNext Generation\u201d project, together with the group\u2019s other existing managing directors. \u201cWe would like to thank the Board of Directors for their great confidence in the management team and are aware of the responsibility that the new tasks entail,\u201d said Andr\u00e9 Z\u00fccker, commenting on the change of leadership. \u201cWe all agreed that the \u2018Next Generation\u2019 project should not be about people and functions alone. Rather, from a position of strength, we wanted to set the course in such a way that KGAL, with its approximately 350 employees, can realise its full potential. The owners\u2019 decision was based on continuity and sustainable growth.\u201d
\nFlorian Martin explains the objective of the reorganisation: \u201cOur aim is to continue as a high-performance, sustainable and innovative investment manager for our clients. We want to maintain our first-class track record and provide answers to the questions of the future, such as net zero real estate and scaling of hydrogen technologies or e-fuels in aviation. I look forward to working and delivering on our goals together with Andr\u00e9 Z\u00fccker and the rest of the management team.\u201d

KGAL Group completes its \u201cNext Generation\u201d project through a new management structure and reorganisation of its Real Estate, Sustainable Infrastructure and Aviation asset classes. Key personnel changes: At the turn of this year, Florian Martin, currently Managing Director Capital, and Andr\u00e9 Z\u00fccker, currently Managing Director Real Estate, will take over the company management together as co-CEOs. At the same time, KGAL is dissolving boundaries between its asset classes with \u201cNext Generation\u201d, thereby strengthening networking, leveraging synergies and further expanding competencies. With this realignment, which had already been initiated before the rise in interest rates, KGAL is now optimally positioned to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the market correction, and by new links between real estate and sustainable infrastructure in the interests of investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4170,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-unternehmen"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7761,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3424\/revisions\/7761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kgal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
