Jan Glass succeeded Dr. Juergen Kuske as chief financial officer of the Optima Group on May 1, 2020. As a result, in collaboration with Hans Buehler, the managing director, he is taking over the management of the central departments.
The industrial engineer has worked for Optima in a variety of management positions since 2016. Since he joined Optima in 2016, his work at the company has given him a deep insight into the entire Optima Group.
"We are very pleased that with Jan Glass, we have been able to find a suitable successor for Dr. Juergen Kuske," says Buehler.
Most recently, Glass has been in charge of Optima life science GmbH. After completing an apprenticeship as a telecommunications technician, the now 58-year-old father of two children studied mechanical engineering alongside production and industrial engineering at Heilbronn University. After graduating, he quickly took on management responsibilities, including as a project engineer in optimizing production and company processes. In addition, he has served as a chief financial officer for over 15 years. He was able to apply his expertise in the manufacturing industry, for instance in a bottling plant for cosmetic products.
"I am looking forward to participating in the ongoing positive growth of the Optima Group," says Glass.
