PCC SE is set to continue the process of generational succession in Group management with a change on the Executive Board. Ulrike Warnecke (62), who has held senior managerial positions within the PCC Group since the parent company was founded in 1993, is to step down from the Executive Board for personal reasons and will now take a seat on the organization’s Supervisory Board. In addition, she will assume the role of PCC’s Personnel Officer.
As Ulrike Warnecke’s successor, our Chief Financial Officer Riccardo Koppe (44) will be joining the Executive Board effective July 1, 2024. Mr. Koppe came to PCC SE in 2008 as a member of Group Controlling, proceeding to take over this accounting division in 2012. He has been CFO of PCC SE since 2020. He will retain this position while assuming from Ms. Warnecke lead responsibility on the Executive Board for Financial Affairs, Public Relations, Human Resources and Internal Organization. Also effective July 1, Ms. Warnecke will succeed Reinhard Quint (81) on the Supervisory Board of PCC SE, with the latter departing for reasons of age.
The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board colleagues of PCC SE would like to thank Ulrike Warnecke for her dedicated commitment and congratulate her on her many achievements in management. Supervisory Board Chairman Waldemar Preussner comments: “Ulrike Warnecke deserves great recognition for the way she has helped shape the PCC Group with her unique drive: as an executive manager and Managing Director in the founding years, as a subsequent member of the Executive Board and in various leadership positions at our Group companies. I now look forward to working with her on the Supervisory Board. At the same time, we are confident that we have found her perfect successor in the form of our long-standing Chief Financial Officer, Riccardo Koppe, and that, with him, the generational change in our Group management will successfully continue.”
