CFO leaves, CEO takes over ad interim.
Thorsten Dirks, who was previously responsible for digital and finance at Lufthansa AG, will leave the Executive Board. Before that, the manager, who switched from Telefonica to aviation, also acted as senior manager for Eurowings. CEO Carsten Spohr will take over Dirks' agendas ad interim.
“After joining the Management Board, Thorsten Dirks initially led Eurowings through a difficult phase, at the same time setting important accents in the digitization of the group and, most recently, taking over key areas of the finance department at short notice. Without exception, they were difficult and challenging subjects that he faced. On behalf of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, I would like to express our thanks for his work, ”said Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Karl-Ludwig Kley, in a press release.
