Heidelberg has named Tania von der Goltz as its new CFO, who will take on the role on 1 January 2023. She will also become a member of the company’s management board.

von der Goltz succeeds Marcus A. Wassenberg, who is expected to leave the company by 1 April 2023 and join the board of another industrial company with the transfer taking place by mutual consent.

Commenting on her appointment, she said, “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 towards sustainable value growth. I would like to sincerely thank the supervisory board for its trust”.

von der Goltz was most recently with Fresenius Medical Care as senior vice-president of 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.

Heidelberg chairman of the supervisory board Dr. Martin Sonnenschein said, “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.”

Heidelberg CEO and chairman of the executive board Dr. Ludwin Monz added, “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.”

Heidelberg also mentioned that Dr. Monz, will assume the function of labor director at the same time that von der Goltz joins the management board.
