Weingarten, December 22, 2022 - The Board of Management of the international technology manager and financing expert CHG-MERIDIAN is changing, with Daniel Welzer taking over responsibility for sales and marketing from Frank Kottmann on January 1, 2023.

“We would like to express our sincere thanks to Frank Kottmann, who has played a crucial part in driving forward key sales topics during his time on the Board of Management, particularly in establishing solutions as the core of our successful sales business. He introduced many new sales-related functions in this area, permanently changing them along the way and ensuring they are solution-oriented,” says Jürgen Mossakowski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of CHG-MERIDIAN.
“We have now gained another highly experienced executive with an international profile for the role of Chief Sales Officer. Daniel Welzer is a great addition to our Board of Management and will provide new impetus for our continuing success,” adds Jürgen Mossakowski.
Daniel Welzer was appointed as the Group’s Chief Representative Sales on October 1, 2021 and was responsible for key sales units in Europe and overseas in his position as Sales Director International.
Before joining CHG-MERIDIAN AG, Daniel Welzer held a sales management role at Wüstenrot & Württembergische AG, a listed financial services company. In that role, which he held as a member of the Management Board and a Managing Director, he successfully managed sales units, digitalization initiatives, and various group business units, including brandpool GmbH and Adam Riese GmbH. Prior to his time at Wüstenrot & Württembergische, he held a number of international sales and senior management positions in the Bertelsmann Group, for example at Arvato and Prinovis, and worked in customer relationship management and analytics at Teradata GmbH.
