Change back to the supervisory board

Dieter Neef, CFO of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Germany, took over the management of Advent-Verlag GmbH on an interim basis in July 2019. With his many years of experience as a manager for globally operating automotive groups, he has made the publishing house fit for the future along with intensively preparing the new management for their new tasks. "Over the past year and a half, we have worked intensively as a management team to put the publishing house on a solid foundation and I am very pleased to now be able to hand over the management of the publishing house to the new managing directors," said Neef.

"We, the new management, but also the entire publishing team are very grateful to Dieter Neef for his work as managing director at Advent Publishing. He has thoroughly analysed key processes and important areas in the publishing house, initiated improvement processes and helped to form a team that is optimally positioned for the future," adds Jessica Schultka. Neef is returning to the supervisory board as a shareholder representative and will thus continue to be associated with Advent-Verlag.
