Goppingen, 4 September 2024: The Supervisory Board of TeamViewer SE extended the contract of Michael Wilkens as the company’s Chief Financial Officer and Member of the Management Board by three years. Michael Wilkens joined TeamViewer’s Management Board in September 2022 with responsibility for the company’s global Finance organization as well as corporate functions. The new contract is scheduled to expire in August 2027 and gives Michael the opportunity to continue his work of enabling TeamViewer’s profitable growth on the back of an improved financial profile and of building strong relationships with shareholders and the capital markets community.

Ralf W. Dieter, Chairman of TeamViewer’s Supervisory Board said: “Michael has been doing an excellent job for TeamViewer over the last two years. He established himself as a key collaborator within the Management Board and an ideal partner at the side of Oliver Steil, TeamViewer’s CEO. The early prolongation of Michael’s contract ensures continuity at the company’s top. Michael has proven to be the right person to steer TeamViewer’s financial planning and delivery, thus building the base for sustainable growth. He has brought TeamViewer’s reporting, financial communication and corporate processes to the next level and earned a lot of trust amongst all stakeholders. With his decisive leadership, strategic impulses and disciplined cost management he will continue to drive value for shareholders as well as customers, partners, and employees.”

His current areas of responsibility will be distributed within the Management Board and Senior Leadership Team.

Ralf W. Dieter said: “On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board and Management Board I would like to thank Peter for his highly valuable contributions and achievements. Under his leadership, TeamViewer has been able to strengthen its position as a global enterprise software champion and to significantly increase brand awareness.
