Since April 2020, Julia Keller has been responsible for the commercial management of the Bonn-based company Kautex Maschinenbau as CFO. She succeeds Frank Röhrlein, who is retiring.
The Graduate business economist specialising in finance and human resources is regarded as a proven Expert for process optimisation and lean management and most recently worked as head of finance and authorised signatory at a plant engineering company. Already since September 2019 she prepared for his succession at Kautex Maschinenbau together with Frank Röhrlein. In January of this year, she had already the management of the Human Resources division which it continues to maintain. With this Dual function she plays a central role in the management.
„Personally, I am convinced that our team is massively strengthened by heterogeneity. This is particularly important in management. The fact that Julia Keller has many years of change management experience is just one aspect. Another is that she has a proven ability to develop a finance and HR department through process management and a strong customer focus. This makes her unique as a CFO. We are therefore very happy to have won her for the Kautex management“, Thomas Hartkämper, CEO at Kautex Maschinenbau.
Julia Keller himself has clear goals in mind: „Stable finances, transparency through clear processes and a consistent focus on customers and service are crucial for a successful change process. The development of employees and open communication create space for a changing corporate culture. For me, listening, inspiring, encouraging and challenging are key factors for the successful transformation of a company.“
