Changes in PRIVUS AG’s Executive Leadership
A significant step in the continued development of PRIVUS AG: After more than 17 years at the helm of the company, co-founder Thomas Flothen is handing over the role of CEO to his long-time partner Oliver Schicker, effective May 1, 2026.
Since the company’s founding in 2009, Thomas Flothen has built and shaped the company with foresight, stability, and a clear focus on sustainable growth. Today, PRIVUS AG stands as an established player in the market—and is ready for the next stage of development.
With Oliver Schicker, a founding partner is taking on overall operational responsibility, representing continuity and targeted further development. The Executive Board is complemented by Petra Glettig-Tröndle (CFO / Finance) and Christian Fäh (CCO / Compliance), as well as Thomas Schmidbauer and Thomas Flothen.
Thomas Flothen will therefore continue to play a central role at PRIVUS AG—as Chairman of the Board of Directors, a member of the Executive Board, and responsible for portfolio management.
This leadership transition lays the foundation for the next chapters in the corporate development of PRIVUS AG.
