ESCHBORN (dpa-AFX) - Deutsche Borse is undergoing a major restructuring of its top management. Clara-Christina Streit (55) is to become the new Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board at the end of the 2025 Annual General Meeting, as announced by the DAX-listed company in Eschborn near Frankfurt. The company also announced two new board members.

Streit, who is currently Chief Supervisor at real estate group Vonovia and Chairwoman of the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code, is to take over from Martin Jetter. The 65-year-old announced in September that he would step down as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Borse after the Annual General Meeting in May 2025.

Streit has been a member of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Borse since 2019 and is to be elected to head the supervisory body in an extraordinary meeting immediately after the shareholders' meeting.

New CFO comes from Thyssenkrupp

Jens Schulte, currently CFO of Thyssenkrupp AG, is to become the new CFO of Deutsche Borse. The 53-year-old will replace Gregor Pottmeyer, who has been CFO of Deutsche Borse since 2009 and whose contract expires at the end of 2025. Pottmeyer has made a significant contribution to the Group's growth over the past 15 years, said Jetter.

Christian Kromann (52) is also to become Chief Investment Management Solutions Officer at the turn of the year, in which Deutsche Borse bundles business with indices, software and data, for example for sustainable investments and investment strategies (ESG). Kromann will relinquish his position as head of the Deutsche Borse subsidiary SimCorp at the end of the year.

Co-CEO Stephan Leithner is currently responsible for the Investment Management Solutions division and will become the sole CEO of Deutsche Borse at the turn of the year. He succeeds Theodor Weimer, who will leave Deutsche Borse after seven years at the end of 2024./als/DP/ngu
