Nov 29 (Reuters) – Thyssenkrupp on Wednesday
said it would appoint Dr Jens Schulte as its new finance chief,
marking the conglomerate’s latest move in its accelerated
turnaround since CEO Miguel Lopez took over in June.

Schulte, currently CFO of glass manufacturer Schott AG,
will succeed Klaus Keysberg, who decided not to seek an
extension after his contract runs out on July 31, 2024. Keysberg
has served as Thyssenkrupp’s CFO since April 2020.

Since taking office, Lopez, a former manager at Siemens
Gamesa and Siemens, has taken several
steps to speed up Thyssenkrupp’s restructuring, including
listing its hydrogen division and launching a performance
programme.
