Markus Eismann (52) will take over as Chairman of the Management Board of Commerz Real Mobilienleasing GmbH on 1 April 2024. He succeeds Dr. Christoph Halstrick (65), who will retire at the end of this year. Until then, Halstrick of Commerz Real Mobilienleasing will remain as a strategic consultant and will ensure a comprehensive handover to Markus Eismann.
I would like to thank Christoph Halstrick for his many years of exceptional commitment. He spent twelve years on the management board of Commerz Real Mobilienleasing, the last six years as Chairman. In these moving times, we have positioned ourselves sustainably and successfully as a leading manufacturer-independent leasing provider and consistent partner for German SMEs in the market and in the Commerzbank Group, and significantly expanded our business both in the structured transaction area and in the standardised small ticket segment.
Christian Horf
Commerz Real Board of Management
The appointed Managing Director Markus Eismann brings with him extensive experience on both the market and the market follow-up side. He has been working in the leasing industry for more than 20 years, most recently as General Manager Market and member of the Management Board of MMV Bank GmbH/MMV Leasing GmbH. Other professional positions included leading positions in the PEAC Finance Group and at UniCredit Leasing.
I am very much looking forward to working with Commerz Real on the further development of the successful leasing business that has grown over the years. Sustainability, digitalisation and artificial intelligence are changing business models and generating new potential and specific financing needs for our customers. At the same time, they offer opportunities for innovations in our own customer and product offering. We want to make active use of this.
