I am sure that he will continue to drive PI Germany’s growth in a sustainable and responsible manner.”

Thomas will assume responsibility for the division New Digital Business & Personal Investors, which includes the fintechs Nickel und Floa as well as BNP Paribas Personal Investors. Rainer Hohenberger will report to him and to Lutz Diederichs in his new role.

“Rainer brings strong knowledge of our activities with a sound business vision. With the support of the whole PI GY Executive Committee, I’m confident that he will make Personal Investors Germany continue to grow and develop,” say Thomas Zink.
