Heidelberg has appointed Tania von der Goltz as CFO, a move that will go into effect on January 1, 2023. At the same time, she will become a member of the Management Board.

von der Goltz succeeds Marcus Wassenberg, whose departure from the company had recently been announced. The chairman of the Executive Board, Ludwin Monz, will assume the function of labor director at the same time.

von der Goltz was most recently with Fresenius Medical Care as senior vice president of global financial strategy, responsible for her company’s global financial strategy. Among other things, she initiated and led international value creation programs and, as head of the global acquisitions and investment committee, had a formative influence on the M&A activities of the DAX-listed group.

The chairman of the Supervisory Board, Martin Sonnenschein, says, “We are very pleased to have gained Tania von der Goltz, a highly competent financial expert with many years of experience, for Heidelberg. She will make a difference in the successful further development. We were thus able to fill the CFO position that had become vacant in a timely manner and ensure an orderly transition.”

Monz states, “I am very much looking forward to working with Tania von der Goltz. Together we will drive the strategic realignment, financial strengthening and cultural transformation of Heidelberg that we have started.”

Commenting on her appointment, von der Goltz comments, “I am extremely excited about my new role at Heidelberg, to work with the Executive Board and employees to help shape the path we have taken toward sustainable value growth. I would like to sincerely thank the Supervisory Board for its trust.”
