Aicomp is changing its existing management in Germany and Austria as part of its new board structure. As a result, the former regional general managers Jörg Helmreich (Germany) and Francesco Reitano (Austria) are being promoted to executive management.
In the face of new challenges in staff recruitment and expansion, the shareholders of the Aicomp Group have thus taken a further step to move the company forward in its transformation and accelerate growth.
"We think it's time to give our leadership team the opportunity to take on greater responsibility”, said Jens Hennecke, co-founder and former managing director of Aicomp's companies in the EMEA region.
"Our current organization has served us well over the past 3 years," says Ralf Stenker, co-founder and board member of Aicomp. "However, we believe that the time has come for us to change two key things: the redefinition of a group-wide board of directors and the transfer of local management into the capable hands of long-time employees and partners Jörg Helmreich and Francesco Reitano," he adds.
Jens Hennecke, former sole Managing Director of Aicomp in the EMEA region, will remain in this position for Germany. His field of activity will focus on sales and marketing in the EMEA region. Jörg Helmreich will take over the operational business for Germany as CEO and will concentrate on administrative issues such as accounting and staff training and development.
At the Vienna location, Francesco Reitano will take over as sole CEO for Austria and Jens Hennecke will continue to be responsible for Sales & Marketing with sole power of attorney in the future, focusing on new business.
The goal of this change is focused on the continuous growth of the entire group.
"The area of personnel and personnel growth has become increasingly important over the years and is now more important than ever as one of the key success factors. I see the new position as an important cornerstone to keep this in focus and thus support sustainable growth," says Jörg Helmreich, new CEO of Aicomp in Germany. Francesco Reitano, new CEO of Aicomp in Vienna, adds: "In my role as manager, specialist, project manager, but also as a leader, I worked permanently to support and develop our employees. With my broad spectrum of experience, I am also looking forward to coaching and advancing especially the younger colleagues."
