LAIQON AG Strengthens Leadership for 2026
The German wealth‑management firm LAIQON AG announced a comprehensive reshuffle of its executive structure on 14 January 2026, a move aimed at bolstering the company’s growth ambitions and reinforcing its position within the capital‑markets sector.
New Executive Board
From 1 January 2026, Dipl.-Ing. Achim Plate assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, joining Dipl.-Kfm. Axel Hörger as a member of the Executive Board and Chief Strategy Officer. The duo will steer the premium‑wealth specialist’s GROWTH 28 strategy, an initiative designed to accelerate market expansion and deepen client relationships.
Expanded Second Tier
The company also appointed four divisional directors to head critical operational units:
| Division | New Head | Key Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | Björn Landsberg | Group financial management, accounting, M&A integration |
| Artificial Intelligence | Christian Sievers (M.Sc.) | AI‑driven product development and data analytics |
| Technology | – | Digital infrastructure and platform optimisation |
| Legal, Compliance & People | – | Regulatory adherence, corporate governance, human‑resources |
Tino Golsch announced a partnership with Stefan Mayerhofer and Oliver Piworus of BV Bayerische Vermögen GmbH, a specialist wealth‑management firm. This collaboration is intended to strengthen LAIQON’s asset‑management capabilities and broaden its product offering for both private and institutional clients.
Background of Key Appointees
- Björn Landsberg brings a wealth of experience from his previous role as Group CFO at Brightpoint Group, where he oversaw corporate accounting, transformation projects, and M&A activity. His expertise is expected to enhance LAIQON’s financial stewardship and support its scaling plans.
- Christian Sievers has been instrumental in the development of LAIQON’s WealthTech platform since 2020. As Chief AI Officer, he will guide the integration of advanced analytics and machine‑learning tools across the firm’s investment products.
Strategic Implications
The reshuffle reflects LAIQON’s commitment to building a “scalable and innovative” organisation. By concentrating talent in strategic leadership roles and aligning key functional areas under experienced directors, the company aims to accelerate its GROWTH 28 initiative, which targets expanded market share in both retail and institutional segments.
LAIQON’s headquarters remain in Hamburg, and its shares continue to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LAIQON. The firm’s product suite—open‑end investment funds and digital wealth‑management solutions—will now be backed by a stronger governance structure, positioning the company for sustained growth in a highly competitive capital‑markets landscape.
