In a challenging environment, clear financial priorities and efficient, effective risk management are crucial, since they form the basis for our security and stability, as well as for the successful implementation of our strategic goals."

In addition to his operational role, Markus Schifferle is active on several bodies within the LLB Group, serving, for example, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of various LLB Group companies and of the Foundation Board of the LLB Personnel Pension Fund Foundation.

Group CEO Christoph Reich emphasises that, in Markus Schifferle, a proven key player with in-depth knowledge of the company and strong expertise is taking on the important role of Group CFO: "With Markus Schifferle, we are placing our trust in a leader who knows the LLB Group and our business inside out, and who combines strategic and operational excellence. In recent years, he has demonstrated his ability to successfully implement demanding projects and play a key role in driving change processes. I look forward to continuing our work together in this new constellation."

The appointment of Markus Schifferle is subject to the approval of the FMA Liechtenstein.
