Mark Wright has assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer at Schreiner Group. The finance and real estate expert has been the innovative high-tech company’s CFO since the beginning of the year and as such been responsible for the commercial aspects of all four locations in Oberschleissheim, Dorfen, New York, and Shanghai. He succeeds Karl Tschacha who successfully held this role for 15 years and decisively shaped the commercial structures of the internationally operating family business.

Mark Wright brings more than 25 years of international management and leadership experience to the role. The graduate of business administration who earned his degree at Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and obtained further qualification as a real estate economist (IREBS) in a part-time program previously served in various commercial leadership roles at Giesecke+Devrient for 26 years. Most recently, he was responsible for leading the commercial part of the real estate business. Prior to that, he also served as CFO of the group’s Canadian branch for several years, among other things.

“Schreiner Group impressed me with its innovative prowess, its internationality, and its clear growth strategy,” says Mark Wright. “The CFO role combines classic financial responsibility with strategic subjects such as digitalization. This combination makes the job especially attractive.” Wright sees major potential for all business units especially in the field of RFID: “The market is clearly developing away from simple labels to data-based value-adding solutions. RFID, digitalization, and smart data are decisive growth drivers for our target markets.

CEO Roland Schreiner emphasizes the importance of the replacement for the further development of the company: “In Mark Wright we’re gaining a CFO with strong international experience and a strategic view. He’s going to provide important impetus to controlling the business and further growth of Schreiner Group.
