2024 – TIME FOR A BREAK

What comes next ? 

I don’t know

After almost 2.5 years in my job as Managing Director of ADAC Finanzdienste GmbH, I have now decided to actively step down. It has been a privilege to serve this organization for the past 2.5 years and I am proud of what we have accomplished together during this time. After careful consideration, I have concluded that I am at a stage in my personal career where, if I did not do it now, I would always look back and regret what I did not do. I am confident that ADAC Financial Services will continue to grow with the talented team, and I would like to thank everyone who supported me during my time.
