Gateway Real Estate AG announced that Holger Lüth will join Gateway Real Estate as Chief Financial Officer, starting on September 1, 2018. Lüth succeeds Tobias Meibom, who will leave the board as well as the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Manfred Hillebrand. Both will support the transition at the stock exchange-listed company, which specializes in the investment, development and management of commercial and residential real estate, until the end of 2018.

Andreas Segal was appointed CEO in early July 2018, also effective September 1, 2018. Lüth most recently was Head of Corporate Finance and Investor Relations at the Austrian company Buwog AG. He not only built the department there, but also was responsible for the company's capital market and financing strategy.

He provided key support in the sale of Buwog to Vonovia AG. Before joining Buwog, Lüth spent several years with an M&A and capital markets consulting company and an investment fund specialising in M&A and special-situations arbitrage.
