MEDIA RELEASE
Markus Scheuermann appointed Chief Financial Officer at HolidayCheck Group
AG
Munich, Germany, 17 February 2017 - Markus Scheuermann (43) will take up
the post of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at HolidayCheck Group AG on or
before 29 May 2017. In this role, he will be responsible for a number of
areas, including Finance, Controlling and Investor Relations. He will
replace Dr Dirk Schmelzer (49), who, as previously reported, will step down
from the Management Board of HolidayCheck Group AG at his own request on 31
March 2017.
Markus Scheuermann currently holds the post of Managing Director at the
Munich-based digital publishing company BurdaForward GmbH, where he is
responsible for Finance, Controlling and Business Intelligence and for
Chip's news and magazine operations.
He joined the Burda Group in April 2012, firstly as Director Venture
Business with Burda's private equity company DLD Ventures, and then from
December 2012 as Managing Director. In 2013 he took up the position of CFO
at Chip Digital GmbH. In 2015, when Chip was merged into BurdaForward GmbH
along, inter alia, with the digital news portals Focus Online and
HuffingtonPost and the digital marketing specialist Forward Ad Group, he
assumed the role of Managing Director Finance.
From 2010 to 2012, he held the position of Director Business Sellers at
eBay in London, UK. Prior to this, he spent around nine years with McKinsey
& Company, where his last role was that of Associate Principal.
Markus studied media management at Wiesbaden University of Applied
Sciences, and he holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from
INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France).
'Our aim is to be the most holidaymaker-friendly company in the world. To
help us reach this goal, we intend to focus this year, and over the next
few years, on making big improvements with regard to the overall customer
experience in our core package holiday market. As part of the overall
vacation concept, we also believe there is further potential for growth in
a number of thematically associated areas. Markus Scheuermann's financial
expertise and his many other talents make him ideal for this role. He has
exactly the skills we need to help us maintain HolidayCheck Group's current
growth trajectory,' says Georg Hesse, Chief Executive Officer of
HolidayCheck Group AG.
Stefan Winners, Chairperson of the Supervisory Board, points out that 'For
the HolidayCheck Group, the main focus now lies on efficiently and
successfully implementing the company's vision. I am sure that Markus
Scheuermann will be an excellent CFO and that going forward we can rely on
him to ensure that the company's growth targets remain supported by a solid
financial base.'
