Christoph Glatthard
The development and implementation of the right financial strategy is just as much part of the CFO's realm of responsibility as financial, operational and payroll accounting and the provision of personnel and specialist management in these areas. Christoph Glatthard also coordinates the budget processes, ensures appropriate controlling activities, oversees the planning and monitoring of costs and provides advice to line managers and colleagues in relation to financial and business matters. As a business engineer and expert in the areas of accounting and controlling, he has been able to collect vast experience in the development, optimisation and management of finance departments in various fields including the machinery industry and retail and service sectors. He spent an extended period working abroad, primarily in India and the Asia-Pacific region. To maintain a balance, Christoph Glatthard can often be found outdoors taking part in sport, be this in the mountains or on his bike.
