"We are very sorry to say that Jörn Stapelfeld will be departing from the Board," commented Herbert K. Haas, Chairman of the Board of Management of Talanx AG and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Talanx Systeme AG.

On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to thank him for his work and valuable discussion, and wish him all the best for the future."
Jörn Stapelfeld became Chairman of the Board of Management of Talanx Systeme AG in June 2014.

Oliver Barnack has many years of operational experience in infrastructure and application development, making him the ideal addition to the management team of Talanx Systeme AG; his appointment will support the company and its divisions in ensuring they are well equipped for the future in terms of IT. I look forward to collaborating with our new Board Members, and wish them both great success in their future roles."
