RWE AG has extended the appointment of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Michael Muller for a further five years, running until 1 November 2028.
Muller has already been a member of the Group Executive Board since November 2020 and has been Chief Financial Officer since May 2021.
Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has decided to appoint Katja van Doren as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO) and Labour Director of RWE AG as of 1 August 2023.
In this Executive Board portfolio, which also includes responsibility for IT, she will succeed Zvezdana Seeger, whose contract is coming to an end. van Doren is currently responsible for Finance, Human Resources and IT on the Executive Board of RWE Generation.
In order to ensure a seamless transition, Zvezdana Seeger will continue to assist her in an advisory capacity from August until the end of October.
Werner Brandt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of RWE AG, said: “As planned, the Supervisory Board today decided on the long-term composition of the team around CEO Markus Krebber on the Executive Board of RWE AG.
“This ensures that the successful transformation of the company can be pursued consistently and with a high degree of personnel continuity. As a leading company in renewable energies, RWE will continue to pursue its international growth course in a sustainable and value-accretive manner and as a responsible and attractive employer.”
He added: “We are delighted that Michael Muller’s contract is being extended. He is using his deep knowledge to forge ahead with the value-accretive development of the company.
“In her role, Zvezdana Seeger is consistently adapting the Group’s IT and HR departments to the new challenges and sharpening RWE’s image as an attractive employer. We very much regret that she will not be available for another term of office due to personal life plans. It is also to her credit that within the RWE Group itself, candidates with the appropriate qualification profile were available to succeed her.
“In Katja van Doren we have found an outstanding expert who has worked closely with Zvezdana Seeger and knows the group inside out.”
