Continental promotes Fischer to head Investor Relations

From 1 April 2022, Anna Fischer will take over as head of Continental’s Investor Relations department, reporting directly to chief financial officer Katja Dürrfeld. Fischer succeeds Bernard Wang, who has served in this capacity since early in 2019 and is leaving the technology company at his own request at the end of March 2022 due to personal reasons.

“Bernard Wang guided the transformation of our company in an extremely challenging economic environment and represented Continental superbly in dialogue with investors and analysts. For this, we owe him our deepest thanks. We will be sorry to see him go. On behalf of the Executive Board, I wish Bernard Wang all the best for the future, in both his personal and professional life,” says Dürrfeld.

“At the same time, we are delighted that in Anna Fischer we are gaining a proven financial manager to head up Investor Relations. She is extremely well connected within the company thanks to the positions she has held in various areas and knows the business inside out. Therefore, I have no doubt that she will seamlessly continue our trusting dialog with investors and analysts and inspire new momentum.”

Fischer, who was born in Romania, has worked at Continental since completing her studies in international business in 2004. During her 17 years at the company, she has held a variety of management positions in the areas of accounting, treasury, and finance and controlling, both at home and abroad. She has been deputy head of Investor Relations since the end of 2021.
