Merkur Group Names Christian Reinhard as New Board Member for Technology and Development

Leading gaming company Merkur Group has appointed Christian Reinhard as its new Management Board Member, overseeing technology and development. Reinhard steps into this pivotal role following the resignation of Werner Kurt Schroer, who served the company for an impressive 19 years before stepping down due to health reasons.

Reinhard brings over two decades of expertise in automotive electronics development, having worked on cutting-edge technologies such as navigation systems, driver-assistance, and connected-car systems. His leadership experience includes managing global development teams, with his most recent role involving the supervision of 3,500 developers and the management of safety-critical systems subject to stringent regulatory requirements. His vast experience in high-tech industries positions him as a perfect fit to lead Merkur’s technology and development efforts.

Paul Gauselmann, Founder and Chairman of the Management Board at Merkur Group, expressed his gratitude to Schroer for his long-standing contributions, saying: “We are immensely thankful for Mr. Schroer’s successful tenure with us and wish him the best. We are equally excited to welcome Christian Reinhard, whose knowledge and experience will continue to drive innovation and bring new perspectives to our development sector.”

Reinhard, reflecting on his new role, commented: “After dedicating 23 years to developing advanced mobility experiences, I am eager to face new challenges in the gaming industry. The fusion of art, design, mathematics, programming, and electronics makes this sector particularly exciting, offering the opportunity to create unforgettable gaming experiences.”

Reinhard’s appointment is a significant step in ensuring that Merkur Group remains at the forefront of technological innovation while maintaining continuity in its development processes. Schroer, while stepping down from the board, will continue to offer his guidance in an advisory capacity, ensuring a smooth transition.

With Christian Reinhard now part of the executive team, Merkur Group looks forward to further advancements in technology and development. His deep-rooted experience in high-tech industries promises to bring fresh ideas and perspectives, aligning with Merkur’s vision of delivering cutting-edge gaming experiences.
