Beata Seweryn will join the asset reporting team. She was previously team leader at Esso and Wex Europe Services.

In addition, Kontora made two people redundant at the end of May 2018.

Achim Uebele has joined one of Kontora’s client and builds up the foundation area there. He will be responsible for direct corporate investments in venture capital. The multi family office will continue to work closely with Uebele.

Holger Lobbel, who has worked for Kontora for five years, has also left the group. Prior to joining Kontora, he has worked in Wealth Management division at UBS and Deutsche Bank.
