Apleona: Reorganization in the executive suite
There will be changes to the Management Board at Apleona in the summer: COO Otto Kajetan Weixler will move to the Supervisory Board and Robin Petersen will take over responsibility for the FM business in the DACH region.
Apleona has announced that Otto Kajetan Weixler (60), currently COO of the real estate service provider, will step down from the Management Board with effect from July 1 of this year and move to the company's Supervisory Board. After 27 years in the FM industry, Weixler says that now is the right time to retire from the operational business.
Weixler began his professional career in 1984 at the construction company Philipp Holzmann, becoming the sole managing director of HSG Holzmann Technischer Service GmbH in 1992. In 2002, the business was sold to the Bilfinger Group, and at the end of 2016, the investor EQT took over the division, which now operates as Apleona.
Robin Petersen (43) will take over responsibility for the FM business in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from Weixler. According to Apleona, he will join the company on March 1 and will then also be appointed to the Management Board. Petersen has been Head of Services for Siemens' power plant business in Europe, Russia and Africa since 2014. The business with around 2,500 employees covers maintenance, repairs, renewals, modernizations and upgrades of power plants and power plant components through to complete operator models of plants. Petersen has worked for the Siemens Group in various divisions since 2003. (ah)
