Finance chief Steenbergen to leave as Lufthansa Group restructures management

Lufthansa Group CFO Remco Steenbergen is to leave the European airline group as part of series of executive changes which also include the appointment for former Airbus and Rolls-Royce executive Grazia Vittadini as its new technology chief. Steenbergen, who joined the airline group as CFO at the start of 2021, will depart Lufthansa’s executive board by mutual agreement in May. Michael Niggemann, who has board responsibility for human resources, will serve as interim CFO until a permament replacement is appointed. The new CFO will join a restructured and new-look executive board, which will be cut from six to five members. Steenbergen is one of four executives stepping down from the executive board as part of the revamp. This also includes former Swiss International Air Lines CE, Harry Hohmeister, who holds responsibility for passenger airlines, as well as Christina Foerster and Detlef Kayser.<br/>
