Chicago/Esslingen, September 20 2023 -
MARKT-PILOT announced today that Dr. Martin Ruth has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), joining the company's leadership alongside Co-Founder and CEO Tobias Rieker, and CEO Alex Morbe. Vienna Rozelle joins the company and assumes the key role of Head of People, responsible for the areas of recruiting and culture. Earlier this year, MARKT-PILOT expanded its international management team with the addition of Kai Wiemer as Vice President of Engineering, Marcel Michel as Vice President of Marketing, and the appointments of Alex Morbe as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Tim Geyer as Managing Director for North America.
Dr. Martin Ruth will immediately assume the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and lead the Finance, Strategy, and People divisions. Ruth has been on board since early 2022, providing invaluable expertise in strategic consulting for industrial and energy companies.
Vienna Rozelle joins the company and strengthens the management team as Head of People, with a particular focus on recruiting and corporate culture.

These changes and additions to the leadership team support MARKT-PILOT's growth plans and prepare the company for further international expansion.
