Rouven Kasper’s arrival from VFB Stuttgart to become Bayern Munich’s new board member for marketing and sales has been months in the making but was completed this January, replacing former CFO Michael
Diederich. Bayern Munich’s official website captures the traditional Bavarian manner in which Kasper was welcome to the club:
To mark Rouven Kasper’s appointment as FC Bayern’s new board member for marketing and sales, a Weißwurst (white sausage) breakfast was organised for staff at Säbener Straße. After introductory remarks by president and supervisory board chairman Herbert Hainer, Kasper introduced himself to those present, including CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, board member for sport Max Eberl, sporting director Christoph Freund and Uli Hoeneß. “This is exactly what I’ve been looking forward to, and it feels like we’ll be working here as a strong team over the next few years and developing momentum,” said the 43-year-old.
Hainer had previously prepared employees for the challenges of the new year and explained that the supervisory board is convinced that the executive board has the optimal structure for the future with Dreesen as chairman and Eberl and Kasper as members.
Sausages and salutations galore for Kasper will hopefully have been a warm welcome as he takes over a vital position in the Bavarians’ organization.
