The listed German private equity firm Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAG) has appointed Sigrid Rosemeyer as managing director for investor relations, as the firm seeks to restructure its wider shareholder communications team.
In her new role, Rosemeyer oversees a revamped IR department that includes fund investor relations, corporate communications and marketing across DBAG’s operations.
Previously in her career, she spent 14 years serving institutional clients in fixed income and equity derivatives at Merrill Lynch, as well as holding positions at Helaba Invest and Capital Group.
‘We are delighted to welcome Sigrid Rosemeyer on board. Her vast experience and strategic expertise will be instrumental in further strengthening and expanding the network we have built with our fund investors,’ says Tom Alzin, spokesperson of the company’s board of management.
‘There could not be a more exciting time to join DBAG and this dynamic team,’ says Rosemeyer of her new role. ‘The private equity market is changing and so is the way we communicate and work together – and I am very much looking forward to rising to these challenges together with our team.’
In the US, RPM International, the Ohio-based maker of specialty paint and coatings, has promoted Matthew Schlarb to the position of vice president of investor relations and sustainability. He previously served as senior director of investor relations, a role he held since joining RPM in 2022.
Prior to that, he was vice president of investor relations at Lottery.com and served as head of IR at Fairmount Santrol, as well as holding IR roles at Mettler Toledo.
‘Matt’s experience and depth of knowledge have elevated RPM’s investor relations function to the next level,’ says Frank Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO. ‘His leadership will be instrumental in driving and expanding our sustainability initiatives.’
Meanwhile, Bank of Hawaii has promoted Chang Park, formerly vice president and investor relations manager, to the role of senior vice president and investor relations director.
Since joining the bank in 2023, Park has managed its IR function and played a ‘key role’ in its preferred equity raise this June, a press release says. ‘With his ability to turn data into insights that are easily digestible by others, Park brings a wealth of knowledge to his role,’ it adds.
Prior to joining Bank of Hawaii, Park served as managing director of Corsica Strategy, as well as senior vice president of M&A at Think Research Corporation. He also served as chief operating officer of Bayfield Strategy and vice president of client management at Kingsdale Advisors.
The bank also formally announced the appointment of Bradley Satenberg as its senior vice president and deputy CFO, a role in which he will oversee overall financial strategy, treasury and financial reporting at the NYSE-listed firm.
