Axel Hörger will remain responsible for the Asset Management and Wealth Management business segments, as well as the Group functions of Internationalisation and Sustainability.

Since 2020, Achim Plate has driven the development and transformation of the LAIQON Group with great entrepreneurial energy and has strategically repositioned the company. Axel Hörger draws on many years of international leadership experience and extensive expertise in asset and wealth management. With the joint CEO structure, we are strengthening our operational leadership and positioning the company to successfully deliver LAIQON’s next phase of growth and scaling,” says Dr Stefan Rindfleisch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of LAIQON AG.

“LAIQON has evolved significantly at a strategic, technological and operational level in recent years. The joint CEO structure will allow us to leverage our combined experience and expertise even more effectively. Together with Axel Hörger and the entire LAIQON team, we aim to further develop our asset management offering and strengthen our comprehensive client service in wealth management. At the same time, we aim to scale our digital and AI-based solutions further, thereby accelerating our GROWTH strategy,” says Achim Plate, joint CEO of LAIQON AG.
