The supervisory board of Vonovia SE has appointed Helene von Roeder to the real estate company’s management board.
Von Roeder will take over the duties of Gerald Klinck in the middle of this year. Klinck decided in August 2017 not to seek an extension of his contract and to leave the management board upon expiry of his current contract.
Von Roeder has been the CEO of Germany at Credit Suisse since 2014. After studying theoretical physics in Munich and theoretical astrophysics in Cambridge, she began her career at Deutsche Bank in London in 1995. She worked for UBS AG in Frankfurt and London from 2000 to 2004, before moving to Morgan Stanley Bank in Frankfurt where her most recent role was head of global capital markets for Germany and Austria and member of the management board.
Rolf Buch, Klaus Freiberg, Stefan Kirsten and Helene von Roeder will comprise the management board team of Vonovia in the future.
