Berlin, 08 September 2023 - kfzteile24, Germany's best-known digital platform in the automotive aftermarket, is strengthening its management team with two new additions. Sebastian Bourmer will become the new CFO on 1 March 2024 and will be responsible for finance and HR. Just Beyer will join the company as Chief Commercial Officer on 1 December 2023 and will be responsible for kfzteile24's customer offering across all platforms.

With Sebastian Bourmer, 39, kfzteile24 is bringing an internationally experienced top manager onto the management board as CFO. Over the past 8 years, Bourmer has helped to build up the finance and human resources departments as CFO and member of the management board at the Hamburg-based company Statista. During this period, the company grew from 150 to more than 1,300 employees and turnover increased significantly. At the same time, the company strongly internationalised and today serves customers all over the world through branches in 12 countries. Bourmer complements the competencies of the management with his many years of experience in an international environment, capital market-oriented corporate management and the establishment and management of a fast-growing digital company. At kfzteile24, he will be responsible for organisational development in addition to finance and commercial management.

"It fills me with joy to become part of the management team at kfzteile24. Together with the team, we have the chance to achieve even greater success in the coming years," explains Bourmer.

Another substantial reinforcement is achieved by kfzteile24 with the arrival of Just Beyer, 39, as Chief Commercial Officer. Beyer is a digital professional and has been instrumental in shaping the process infrastructure of a large number of leading platforms, including companies such as Ladenzeile, fashion4home, deinHandy.de and eGym. His role as managing director for various portfolio companies of Rocket Internet, as well as his deep digital roots as a business angel, make Beyer a well-connected manager who will take kfzteile24's customer experience to the next level across various platforms. He is no stranger to the company: Beyer has accompanied the company's transformation in recent years as an interim manager and also participated in the management buy-out as an investor.

"For me, kfzteile24 is one of the most exciting companies in German e-commerce," explains Beyer. "The combination of online reach, branch business and direct delivery to commercial customers clearly sets the company apart from the competition and offers excellent opportunities for further development."

With the recruitment of the two top managers, the organisation is excellently positioned for the coming years after the MBO in April, in order to continue the very successful growth course of the Berlin e-commerce company. In addition to the highly scalable e-commerce platform, the main growth drivers are the expansion of the business with commercial customers, as well as the continuous expansion of the product range on all platforms of the omni-channel company.

"We are delighted to have gained two absolute top managers for kfzteile24 in Sebastian Bourmer and Just Beyer," explains Markus Winter, CEO of kfzteile24. "We are convinced that with their experience and expertise they will be instrumental in driving our long-term success as the leading digital platform in the automotive aftermarket."
