The 32-year-old had already been a member of the Management Board as Chief Sales Officer (CSO) since June 2019. Together with Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Peter Schnitzler, who has been on board since May 2019, he has been managing the business since then. His sister Theresa Meyer supports the Management Board duo significantly in the strategic management and transformation of the family business.

"I am honored and delighted that I can now help shape the future of our company - together with my sister Theresa and my Management Board colleague Peter Schnitzler," says Maximilian Meyer. The economist joined the company in 2016 as a key account manager and assistant to the Management Board, having familiarized himself with the processes over the past four years and was thus able to prepare himself extensively for the role. He is primarily responsible for the areas of Sales and Operations. Theresa Meyer, also an economist, has been with the fashion logistics company for around a year. She drives the company's development and uses her expertise from her time at an international management consultancy.

"Theresa and I have been associated with Meyer & Meyer since we were children. We are committed to the sustainable, successful development of our family business, which has been in existence for more than 100 years," explains Maximilian Meyer. "It is important to Peter Schnitzler and us - as part of the shareholder family - to send a strong signal to our customers, business partners and employees right now. The current conditions are undoubtedly challenging. But we are highly motivated to master this challenge and to continue to develop our company sustainably and consistently with firmly anchored values and a clear vision for the future."
