VERBUND AG today announced that Peter Kollmann, Deputy Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has informed the Supervisory Board
that he will step down from his Management Board mandate effective August
31, 2026, to join Bank of America as Vice Chair EU and Country Executive
for Germany and Austria.
Martin Ohneberg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said: “We sincerely
thank Peter Kollmann for his outstanding commitment, leadership and
trusted partnership. His contribution to VERBUND AG has been significant
and lasting. During a demanding period, he played a key role in shaping
the company’s development and advancing important strategic priorities. We
respect his decision to pursue a new opportunity outside the company and
wish him continued success in the future.”
Peter Kollmann said: “It has been a great honor to be part of VERBUND AG.
I am proud of what we have achieved together, particularly in a
challenging environment. My sincere thanks go to my colleagues, the
leadership team and the Supervisory Board for their trust, close
collaboration and strong support. Until my departure, I will remain fully
committed to the company and to ensuring a smooth transition.”
Peter Kollmann will leave VERBUND AG after 13 years of highly successful
and dedicated service. Over that time, he has made a major contribution to
the company’s development and success. In a demanding environment marked
by significant uncertainty, he helped strengthen the company, advance key
strategic initiatives and position VERBUND AG for the future with
resilience. As Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Austrian Power Grid
AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of VERBUND AG, he also played a decisive
role in shaping its strategic positioning and in establishing APG as a key
pillar of the Group and a pioneer in the transformation of the energy
system.
Peter Kollmann will remain with the company until August 31, 2026, to
ensure an orderly and smooth transition. If no successor to the CFO
position has been appointed by that date, it is planned that VERBUND CEO
Michael Strugl will additionally assume the role of CFO on an interim
basis. The VERBUND Supervisory Board will immediately begin the process of
searching for a successor to Peter Kollmann.
