(PRESS RELEASE) VIENNA, 16-Jun-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — At its Annual General Meeting today, Wiener Börse AG welcomed two seasoned professionals to its Supervisory Board: Alexandra Wittmann and Guido Jestädt. Wittmann, who earned her degree in business administration, assumed the role of CFO at EVN AG on September 1, 2024, and now fills the seat vacated by long-serving board member Stefan Szyszkowitz. Jestädt, a legal specialist, has been Chief Administrative Officer on the Managing Board of BAWAG Group AG since 2021 and succeeds Egbert Fleischer, the former Chairman of BAWAG Group’s Supervisory Board. Both Szyszkowitz—who served for over a decade—and Fleischer—who joined in 2017—resigned their mandates this spring.

“Alexandra Wittmann and Guido Jestädt bring invaluable expertise to our Supervisory Board,” said Heimo Scheuch, Chairman of Wiener Börse AG’s Supervisory Board. “We extend our sincere gratitude to Stefan Szyszkowitz and Egbert Fleischer for their pivotal roles in guiding our transformation and advancing Austria’s capital market.”

The rest of the twelve-member shareholder board remains unchanged, alongside the four employee representatives appointed by the Works Council. Heimo Scheuch (Wienerberger AG) and Angelika Sommer-Hemetsberger (OeKB) will continue as Chairman and Deputy Chairwoman, respectively.
