transformation of the real, digital and financial worlds as well as major
changes in market conditions and customer requirements. It’s been a great
privilege to have led and reoriented Siemens Financial Services during this
time of unrelenting change and transformation, while always focusing on the

foresight needed to provide financing that makes a difference.”

Services,” said Kevin Zander. “I’d particularly like to thank Veronika Bienert
and the entire Siemens Managing Board for the confidence they’ve placed in me. SFS combines technological know-how with
financial expertise in a unique way that enables it to act as a long-term
supporter and integrator for Siemens’ businesses. My goal is to continue Veronika Bienert’s successful work and –
together with Andreas Rudolf and the entire SFS team – further develop our
business across our strategic priorities and to the advantage of our customers
and partners.”
