FinPlanet GmbH is consistently continuing its growth course and appoints Marius Bauer, CFA, as an additional partner and managing director. With this appointment, the company, founded in 2022 in Planegg near Munich, is also further expanding its range of consulting services on blockchain-based business models for banks, financial service providers and FinTechs.

This step represents the second expansion of the company's management team within one year — in 2023, FinPlanet combined the consulting business with Primwerk GmbH, founded by Dr. Dirk Sturz.

With Marius Bauer, FinPlanet is now bringing on board a proven implementation expert who, in addition to a high level of expertise in the DLT sector, also has 10 years of experience with E2E-processes for off-chain assets and classic operating models.

”I am very much looking forward to the tasks associated with this step at FinPlanet and would also like to thank you for the trust that the company has placed in me with it.” says Mr. Bauer and adds: “With the rapidly increasing maturity of DLT-based business models observed today, the time of mere use cases and individual PoCs is increasingly over — the leading players are working no more and nothing less than on the extensive establishment of on-chain assets, including their professional and technical infrastructure. This is accompanied by the need to link (IT) structures and processes of the off-chain world with the on-chain world. ”

“Expanding our circle of partners is an important step to sustainably support FinPlanet's strong growth. We are particularly pleased to have someone on board with Marius, with whom we have already successfully implemented blockchain projects in the past. His expertise and experience will significantly enrich our team and help us continue to create real added value for our customers.” Dr. Dirk Sturz points out.

Maximilian Ludwig and Sebastian Liebscher add: “With the increasing adoption of blockchain in the financial sector, market players are increasingly concerned with designing and building scalable operating models and IT architectures in addition to various regulatory issues (such as setting up their own licenses). We are very pleased to continue to consistently align and expand our service portfolio together with Marius. In addition to joint DLT customer projects, Marius was also able to demonstrate his professional and personal fit in joint publications (DLT Pricing Study) and public appearances (Crypto Asset Conference, Munich Investment Forum, podcast interview with “Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n Roll”).”

In addition to expanding the number of partners, FinPlanet is expanding the network of experts launched in 2023. In addition to further strengthening the company's scalability, this is intended in particular to support the above-mentioned expansion of the DLT consulting portfolio and to expand the ability to provide highly individual customer solutions.
