CEO Matthias Taft will leave the company at the end of August 2025. His contract will come to an end by mutual agreement and on the best of terms. Until a new CEO is appointed by the Supervisory Board, his previous responsibilities will be shared among the Executive Board members Dr. Daniel Gaefke (COO), Elmar Geissinger (CFO), and Hans-Joachim Ziems (CRO).
‘On behalf of the Supervisory Board and all colleagues, I would like to thank Mr Taft for his commitment to BayWa r.e. over the past 15 years, and for his invaluable support in helping to stabilise the company over the past twelve months,’ said Michael Baur, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BayWa r.e.
The recently completed financing package and significant progress in operational business provide a solid foundation for BayWa r.e.’s successful transformation in the years ahead.
‘It has been both a pleasure and an honour to lead BayWa r.e. and to help shape its journey over the past decade and a half. I wish my colleagues and the company all the very best for the future. I am confident that the operational turnaround will succeed and that BayWa r.e. will regain its former strength,’ said Matthias Taft.
