Stefan Heymann set to become new CFO
RIO is reshaping its management board: The digital brand of the Traton Group has brought in Stefan Heymann as CFO. Heymann has his roots in the Volkswagen Group. RIO’s new recruit joined the Volkswagen Group China as a project controller in 2011.
He took on a team leader role there two years later. Since 2016, he has been working for the Traton Group, most recently as head of module management. Heymann will join RIO this autumn and replace Franziska Leidenroth as managing director and CFO.
“Heymann will play a decisive role in the transformation of the RIO brand. We are currently reaching out to new customer groups and pursuing a significant expansion of our partner base. We need a strong financial footing to achieve this,” says Jan Kaumanns, CEO of RIO. At present, more than 115,000 vehicles are linked to each other via the RIO platform.
Leidenroth is leaving the company for personal reasons. She moved from MAN Truck & Bus to the newly founded brand RIO in 2016 and took on the position of CFO & head of finance and administration. (mw)
