Since 2019, he has been a non-executive member of the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group AG, among others. He has profound knowledge in the field of digitalisation.
The Board of Directors is convinced to have found in Christian Gellerstad an important new member for the Investis Board of Directors. He brings valuable experience to further develop the Investis Group. The combination of strategic and operational experience as well as his personality, which is an excellent fit for the Investis Group, make him, in the view of the Board of Directors, a perfect fit to play a significant role in determining the future success of the Investis Group.
