The Supervisory Board of medical device manufacturer WORLD OF MEDICINE today appointed Andreas Schröteler to be its new Chief Financial Officer, effective May 1, 2005. He comes to WORLD OF MEDICINE from BDO, the leading international accounting firm, where he served 13 years, for many years in an executive capacity as a Senior Manager. After an extended professional engagement in the USA, the 38 year-old is now assuming responsibility for the Departments of Accounting, Controlling, Investor Relations, IT and Materials Management.
Schröteler holds his graduate degree in business (Dipl. Kaufmann), and is a certified accountant and tax advisor. Beside his international business experience, he has expertise in the areas of financial organization and controlling, as well as a deep knowledge of US-GAAP and IFRS international accounting standards.
The preceding CFO, Michael Ott, has at his own wish decided against extending his contract, which expires this year; instead he will be pursuing a separate business engagement. The Supervisory Board today accepted his resignation from his post on the Management Board at the end of April 2005. Mr. Ott will resign from the Company effective May 31, 2005. He will remain available to WORLD OF MEDICINE in an advisory capacity for the following nine months. The Supervisory Board and Management Board wish to thank Mr. Ott for his strong commitment and his consistently effective service. They strongly regret his departure and offer him their best wishes in his future personal and professional endeavors.
