Matthias Bockholt has decided not to renew his Managing Board contract, which expires at the end of July 2023.

Meanwhile, Matthias Bockholt is aiming for a position on the companys Supervisory Board in the medium term. Dr Jochen Ahn's current Managing Board contract runs until the end of 2024. With the departure of Matthias Bockholt, the Managing Board will initially be reduced to five members.

He was appointed to the Managing Board in the summer of 2022 together with Susanne von Mutius and Alexander Reinicke.  Dr Karsten Schlageter completes the Board and acts as the spokesperson of the Managing Board.
