This move underscores the company's commitment to accelerating its growth trajectory across Europe and attracting new investor segments.
The newly created role consolidates growth strategy, brand leadership, and customer development at the group level.

This strategic alignment aims to unlock the full potential of flatexDEGIRO's strong brand and inspire more people to build long-term wealth through investing.
Dominik Beier brings extensive experience in scaling digital platforms. Most recently, he served as Chief Commercial Officer at Bitpanda, where he oversaw marketing, growth, and international expansion. Prior to that, he held leadership roles including CEO of the Interwetten Group and senior positions at Sportradar. His track record in driving growth makes him a valuable addition to flatexDEGIRO's leadership team.
Oliver Behrens, CEO of flatexDEGIRO, commented on the appointment: "flatexDEGIRO has established a unique position in Europe.

I look forward to working with the team to unlock this potential and actively shape the company's next stage of development."
Beier will assume his role in January 2027. This appointment comes as flatexDEGIRO continues to strengthen its market position. The company currently serves more than 3.5 million customers across 16 countries, holds over EUR 100 billion in assets under custody, and executed more than 75 million securities transactions in 2025. Through its platforms, DEGIRO, flatex, and ViTrade, it provides access to trading on around 50 exchanges in Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
The creation of the CGO position signals flatexDEGIRO's intention to intensify its focus on growth and customer engagement. By integrating product, customer experience, and marketing under a single executive, the company aims to enhance its competitive edge and better serve its diverse customer base. This strategic move is likely to have implications for the European online brokerage market, as flatexDEGIRO seeks to expand its reach and attract new investors.
