She succeeds Dr. Peter Jansen, who will step down as a member of the Executive Board of Lufthansa Technik on December 31, 2015.

“Constanze Hufenbecher has already been successful in management in a variety of industries and companies outside aviation and has the right qualifications for developing and implementing new ideas at Lufthansa Technik, too.

“We welcome Constanze Hufenbecher to the Executive Board. We have big plans for Lufthansa Technik, and I’m convinced that she can make a significant contribution to the development of the company,” said Lufthansa Technik CEO Dr. Johannes Bussmann.

Hufenbecher’s predecessor as Chief Executive Finance, Dr. Jansen, is retiring after fifteen years at the head of Finance at Lufthansa Technik, but will continue to support the company with advice and assistance.

“Peter Jansen kept Lufthansa Technik on a solid financial footing for fifteen years, even when times were difficult. His competence and commitment are valued across the Group, and he has my heartfelt thanks for his outstanding achievements,” said Spohr.

Constanze Hufenbecher has a degree in business administration and has held a variety of management positions to date, most recently as Chief Financial Officer of BE Printers and Prinovis Ltd. & Co. KG, Hamburg.
