Stephan Deussen appointed as new Group CFO of the H&Z Group

The management of the H&Z Group comprises Stefan Aichbauer, Harald Enz and Michael Santo. With extensive expertise in consulting and private equity finance, Stephan Deussen joins the team to further professionalise the group. 

‘Stephan Deussen has exactly the skills we need. His financial expertise and strategic vision will help us to successfully master the next steps on our growth path,’ said Michael Santo, Managing Partner of the H&Z Group. 
 

‘The establishment and further development of private equity-backed professional service platforms is the focus of my work. With H&Z, I can now support one of the top 10 German consulting firms on this path as CFO and contribute my experience. I am very much looking forward to working together with the H&Z Group team and our investor EMZ, who are a perfect match,’ said Stephan Deussen about his new role. 

 

Following the entry of investor EMZ less than a year ago, the H&Z Group is on course for growth. With Transform8, now operating as H&Z.Digital, and Haselhorst Associates (CRO/restructuring), successful platform partners have already been acquired in the first year. The company is planning both internal and external growth and is strengthening its role as a market leader in management consulting, digital transformation and restructuring. 


A big thank you to Christof Sonderhauser (CFO of H&Z Unternehmensberatung GmbH) and Rainer Hoffmann (founder), who have also taken on the Group CFO role in recent months and successfully shaped it.
