Christoph Hansmeyer to move to Deutsche Börse Pre- & Post-Trading division
Christoph Hansmeyer, Managing Director Group Strategy/M&A/Chief of Staff at Deutsche Börse Group since 1 April 2018, will move to the Pre- & Post-Trading division on 1 March 2022 to lead key projects. In his role, he has been instrumental in the successful implementation of the Compass 2023 strategy.
Before joining Deutsche Börse, he was with Allianz SE, based in Munich, Germany until 2018, where he held positions in Group Merger & Acquisitions and in the company’s Group Strategy & Portfolio Management team. Before that, he spent 12 years at Goldman Sachs, working in the Investment Banking Division of the Financial Institutions Group with responsibilities for Frankfurt, New York and London.
He earned his master’s degree in Business Administration at the WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management in Koblenz, Germany in 1999.
Jörg Pietzner will follow as Managing Director Group Strategy/M&A/Chief of Staff. Following his studies in mathematics and physics, he started his career at Goldman Sachs in 2001. In 2009, he moved to UniCredit Group, where he took on various management positions, amongst others in strategy and credit risk. For the past four years, he worked at the Milan headquarters and was responsible for Group Investor Relations.
Theodor Weimer, Chief Executive Officer at Deutsche Börse Group, commented:
“Christoph’s move is much to my regret. Together with the Executive Board, we started in 2018 to open a new chapter for Deutsche Börse. We owe it also to him that today, we can give a positive summary of the past four years. Especially in M&A he set standards with many successful and innovative transactions. But I am convinced that people need to develop and take on new challenges.
The development of the post-trade business is one of the key strategic projects of Deutsche Börse in the coming years. At the same time, I am delighted to have won Jörg Pietzner for this extraordinarily challenging task.”
