Merkur Group has announced significant personnel changes, appointing three new members to the Board of Directors as part of its generational transition program.
The changes will take effect on January 1, 2025, involving the redistribution of functions across key departments, including sales and gaming operations management.
Dominik Raasch, currently Head of Sales and Management Spokesman at adp Merkur, will take over the Sales division of Merkur, succeeding outgoing Management Board Vice-Chair Jürgen Stühmeyer.
Stühmeyer, who has dedicated 37 years to the company, will move to the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors of the Gauselmann Family Foundation, continuing his collaboration with Merkur in a new capacity.
Mike Sellenriek and David Schnabel will take the helm of Merkur Group’s gaming operations, highlighting the company’s strategic focus on this area. Sellenriek, with 27 years of experience at Merkur, will oversee the arcade segment.
Schnabel, who played a key role in developing Merkur’s casino operations, will lead the newly established casino management division, marking the first time this segment will be represented separately on the Board of Directors.
These appointments coincide with the retirement of Dieter Kuhlmann, who has long served as a member of the Management Board and overseen gaming operations.
Kuhlmann, who joined Merkur in 2000, was recognized for his achievements in operations and employee engagement development throughout his career.
Michael Gauselmann, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, stated: “It is a great pleasure for me that we have successfully completed the rejuvenation of the Group’s Management Board with these personnel changes. We are looking forward to the challenges of the future and are in the best possible position to meet them.”
This announcement comes amid Merkur’s continued growth and innovation initiatives, including key milestones such as the 25th anniversary of CEO Aristidis Tsikouras at the company.
