Wirtek's Board of Directors has today appointed Aurora Pestesan as new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective 3 January 2022. The expansion of the Executive Management team is anchored in the Accelerate25 strategy and a wish to strengthen the leadership. The appointment concludes the search process for a CFO as previously communicated (see company announcement no. 15/2021).

Intensive knowledge from international banking

"We are really pleased to welcome Aurora as our new CFO at Wirtek. Our company has grown to a size where an in-house CFO is needed with responsibility for financial control and reporting as well as the strongest possible capital structure due to our growth strategy based on both organic and acquired growth. Aurora will no doubt strengthen the leadership team with her extensive knowledge and skills from an impressive career," says Michael Aaen, CEO of Wirtek.

Aurora Pestesan comes from a senior position at Deutsche Bank and has spent several years in international banking, insurance, and corporations across Europe and in the US. Central in her career has been her senior responsibility for the implementation of processes and systems within financial planning, risk management, controlling, and financial reporting to top management, leading teams across multiple national entities. Prior to her position at Deutsche Bank, Aurora headed an international team at BNP Paribas, standardising and optimising processes and IFRS reporting aligned with the individual business leaders' growth plans and operational processes. Aurora Pestesan is a Romanian citizen, and she will be based at Wirtek's Bucharest office.

Wirtek has it all – a profitable growth strategy and a healthy corporate culture

"Wirtek seems to have it all. A growth strategy focusing on profitable growth and a healthy corporate culture focusing on employees and job satisfaction. I look very much forward to working with the entire team at Wirtek to further strengthen the financial processes and the stakeholder reporting. I am confident that together we can accomplish amazing results," says Aurora Pestesan.
