As of March 1, 2023, individual areas of expertise will be reassigned within the Vogel Communications Group Würzburg/Munich. In his new role as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Steffen Mittelstädt will take over the "People & Culture" division (team leader Gerhard Zall) in addition to the existing "Customer Success" division. In his new role as Chief Information Officer (CIO), Michael Schenk will be responsible for the "Corporate Governance" division (Director Ludwig Schmidt) in addition to the existing "Technologies & Information" division. Matthias Bauer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and Günter Schürger, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), will continue to jointly manage the entire group of companies. As Chief Sales Officer (CSO), Benjamin Wahler will continue to be responsible for the Sales division. The composition and responsibilities of the Executive Team (Wü/Mü) remain unchanged.

"The importance of corporate governance, data and technology is increasing across the Group and will therefore be the holistic responsibility of CIO Michael Schenk in future. The interaction between corporate culture, employer branding, customer orientation and organizational processes is growing and will be more closely networked in the area of COO Steffen Mittelstädt in future," explains CEO Matthias Bauer: "At the same time, the strategic focus will be even more strongly on the growth of our group of companies. This is in the hands of the VCG management and we have created the necessary resources for acquisitions and cooperations through the reorganization. I look forward to working with Steffen and Michael in their new roles."
