Change in the Executive Board at Sick
Sick CFO Markus Vatter is stepping down from the board after 17 years
Sick has announced changes in the Executive Board: Markus Vatter, Chief Financial & IT Officer, will resign from the Executive Board after 17 years at the latest by the turn of the year in order to concentrate on his duties in various supervisory bodies. At the same time, the company announced that the Supervisory Board had appointed Jan-Helmut Eberhardt to the Management Board. Eberhardt will seamlessly continue the work of the Management Board in the Finance & IT department.
Markus Vatter joined the board on July 1, 2006 and had previously worked as commercial director for KaVo Dental GmbH from 2001.

After more than two decades in management and board positions, 56-year-old Markus Vatter has decided to herald the next professional phase and fully contribute his expertise to the supervisory boards of several technology companies.
