Lenze Group reorganizes its Executive Board
The Lenze Group is realigning its management structure. On September 1, 2025, Bruno Krauss will take over the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Lenze Group. Together with Dr. Marc Wucherer, who has been Chief Executive Officer (CEO) since the beginning of the year, he will form the company's management team.
"With the new management structure, we are sending a strong signal for the future of Lenze," says Dr. Johannes Haupt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Lenze SE. "We are convinced that the new Executive Board team with Dr. Wucherer and Bruno Krauss will provide the right impetus - both strategically and culturally. The challenges facing the industry are great, but we are ideally positioned to master them. Our employees, our innovative strength and our international presence form a strong foundation for sustainable growth. This realignment is an important step in making our organization fit for the future and resilient."
With the appointment of Bruno Krauss, Lenze aims to strengthen its financial and transformation expertise. He brings with him international experience from family businesses and listed companies - most recently in a management role at an intralogistics company. He was previously Group CFO at SSI Schäfer. Other positions in his career include management roles at Schwan-Stabilo, Booster Precision Components, the Schaeffler Group and international mandates in Asia and Europe.
Clear areas of responsibility within the Management Board
As CEO, Dr. Marc Wucherer will be responsible for all strategic, operational and market-related areas. These include corporate strategy and development, sales, marketing, technology, operations, HR, corporate communications and the overarching transformation of the organization. As Chief Financial Officer, Bruno Krauss will focus on the financial and structural management of the company. His responsibilities include finance and controlling, accounting and taxes, IT, sustainability, risk management, compliance and legal affairs. "Market & People" is the responsibility of the CEO, "Structure & Management" is the responsibility of the CFO.
Claus Bischoff (CTO) left the company in April and Dr. Achim Degner (CFO) in July as part of the reorganization.
