“Sustainability is an essential element of our corporate policy. This also applies to our planning when filling key management positions for the long term,” says Dr Michael Faller, who has led the company for 33 years. “We had these considerations in mind when planning and preparing for a successor with the Advisory Board,” adds Dr Daniel Keesman, who has been a managing partner since 2007.
