He will continue to steer the group at least until 2022. On March 12 2018, the supervisory board of FinTech Group AG decided unanimously to extend the contract of CEO Frank Niehage for another term until August 2022. Frank Niehage took over the responsibility for the FinTech Group in 2014 as a complex restructuring case. The acquisition of the XCOM Group in 2015, which Frank Niehage led, was the starting point of today's success story. After years of restructuring and reorganization, the group's financials turned significantly positive. Additionally to that operational success, the market cap increased sixfold since Frank Niehage took office as CEO in August 2014. Today, all signals point to growth, the management expects for 2018 revenues of EUR 120 million and net profits of EUR 24 million. "Frank Niehage did an outstanding job in his first term, he managed the organizational change process with strong dedication and focus. The growth of the previous years has been impressive, right decisions have been taken, both operationally as well as on the capital markets. This is the reason why the supervisory board aims for continuous stability in the management team with Frank Niehage as the CEO. We are looking forward to the next years and our common future growth", said Martin Korbmacher, Chairman of FinTech Group AG.
