Ehret+Klein AG is consistently continuing the strategic transformation it initiated four years ago and is aligning itself even more closely with the requirements of the real estate market. The focus is on the expansion of investment management and the further development of service-oriented business units along the entire value chain, especially in the areas of asset, property management and service development.
As part of this further development, Michael Ehret will leave the operational business of Ehret+Klein AG on 15.06.2026. Michael Ehret will remain associated with the company as a shareholder and will accompany selected project companies as Managing Director. Together with Stefan Klein, he has helped to build up and be responsible for the entire company as well as the project development activities over the past two decades.
"As a co-founder, Michael Ehret has had a significant influence on ehret+klein from the very beginning and has initiated and accompanied the transformation of the company with visionary vision. We would like to express our sincere thanks to him for his entrepreneurial achievements, his visionary guidance and his invaluable contribution to the development of the Group," says CEO Sebastian Wasser, who will also take over the responsibilities of Michael Ehret. Samira Pichler will remain Chief Executive Officer of the Development Units.
"ehret+klein was a central part of my entrepreneurial path for many years. Together with Stefan Klein and many committed colleagues, we built up and developed the group of companies. I am convinced that ehret+klein is very well positioned for the future with its strategic orientation and existing management team and wish the company continued success in the next phase of development," says Michael Ehret.
With the early extension of CEO Sebastian Wasser's contract for another three years, ehret+klein is focusing on operational and strategic continuity. Together with COO Antje Lubitz and CDO Samira Pichler, Wasser will drive the consistent further development of the group of companies. Co-founder Stefan Klein will also remain closely associated with the company as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
At the same time, ehret+klein is specifically strengthening the financial and capital market expertise in the Executive Board: Jörg Schürmann will join the Group's Executive Board as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in mid-June. In his role, he will be responsible in particular for financial management, the expansion of governance structures and further professionalisation.
"With Jörg Schürmann, we are gaining a financial specialist with over 25 years of experience, especially in the areas of debt and equity financing as well as M&A. He is also a profound expert on the real estate markets. With his expertise and strategic competence, we will drive the next phase of our transformation," says Wasser. Jörg Schürmann adds: "ehret+klein has a strong market position and great development potential. I look forward to actively supporting the strategic development of the company together with the management team."
