Vanessa Hellwing has informed the Board of Directors that she resigns as CFO of CHIRON Group SE
After nearly four years with CHIRON Group, Chief Commercial Officer (CFO) Vanessa Hellwing has decided to pursue a new career opportunity.
When Vanessa Hellwing took over as CFO in 2018, her stated goal was to contribute to the profitable growth of CHIRON Group with well-integrated financial processes while making the company's cost structure more breathable.
According to CEO Carsten Liske, „She has more than succeeded in this. She has steered the company safely through very challenging times and joined the German companies into the current CHIRON Group SE, a strong, agile unit. For this, she deserves thanks and high recognition, also on behalf of the Board of Directors.“
Under Vanessa Hellwing's commercial management, the CHIRON Group integrated FACTORY5 and GREIDENWEIS in recent years to enable it to also offer innovative micromachining centers and more advanced automation solutions. „We are on a sustainable growth path“ says Vanessa Hellwing, „and the employees are very motivated to set new standards for the industry from this position of strength. I wish everyone, including my colleagues on the management team, every success in this endeavor.“
Details of the succession plan will be announced by CHIRON Group in due course. Vanessa Hellwing will retain full responsibility for the commercial management until then.
