Munich – Strategic expansion of the management

The company’s growth in recent years requires a strategic expansion of RAILPOOL’s management. As of 15 October, Ingo Wurzer will take over the management of the Finance & Controlling, Legal, IT and HR departments in his new position as CFO.

In addition to 20 years of professional experience in finance, Wurzer also brings with him comprehensive industry expertise from the rail vehicle rental sector, thanks to his many years as Managing Director and CFO at Alpha Trains.

“With Ingo Wurzer, we are gaining an expert who will optimally complement our team thanks to his experience”, emphasises Torsten Lehnert, CEO of the RAILPOOL Group. “He has years of experience in the leasing market, in-depth knowledge of rail vehicle financing and will therefore play an important role in realising our corporate goals.”
