As part of a “management structure realignment,” Heike Bode, who has been with the Merkur company for 30 years, has become its new managing director of sales.
The role was previously held by Dominik Raasch, who joined the company’s management board at the start of the year.
“Heike Bode combines outstanding professional expertise with proven leadership skills, making her the ideal candidate to lead our sales operations,” said Raasch. “With her many years of service within the company, she brings a wealth of in-depth industry knowledge and valuable experience to the role. I am confident she will lead adp Merkur’s sales division toward an even more successful future, and I look forward to our continued collaboration.”
In 2017, Bode joined the management of Merkur Freizeit Leasing GmbH as managing director finance. Since 2024, she has also been in charge of the newly established business transformation division.
“Over the past three decades, I’ve had the opportunity to take on a wide variety of challenges within the Merkur Group,” said Bode. “I am deeply grateful for the continued trust placed in me through this new appointment. I look forward to helping shape the future of adp Merkur GmbH and to making a lasting contribution to its success.
“Together with my dedicated team, our focus will be on further strengthening our market presence both nationally and internationally, and on positioning the Merkur brand in new markets around the globe.”
In addition to stepping down from his sales management responsibilities, Dominik Raasch will also hand over the role of management spokesperson to Jochen Clemens, who will take this on alongside his current role as managing director finance.
