New Director at Gebrüder Weiss

Born in Bregenz, Austria, Werner Hagen (56) started his career in 1971 as a financial accountant for the branches in Vorarlberg, Austria. After he changed to Corporate Finance and Accounting and was granted power of attorney in 1986, Hagen has been responsible for the group balance sheet. In 1997, he became head of his department, which he has been leading ever since successfully and with a strong sense of commitment.

His appointment as a Director in summer 2010 marked the zenith of Hagen’s career. ”It is a great honour to be appointed Director in a successful company such as Gebrüder Weiss. Ongoing economic changes and the group’s continuous growth present me and my team with always new challenges. Under these circumstances, my area of responsibility will be exciting, although not without tension in the coming years. I am looking forward to continue to contribute to the Gebrüder Weiss group’s success in the future,” said Hagen.
