Dominik Wurzer becomes CEO of Contovista - Aduno Group acquires company
Effective January 1, 2020, Dominik Wurzer will assume operational leadership of the Schlieren-based fintech company. He previously served as Chief Sales Officer. In addition, the Aduno Group is now taking full ownership of the company.
Dominik Wurzer moved to Contovista around two years ago from the strategy consultancy of a software-as-a-service company in the field of digital customer experience. He takes over the position from Gian Reto à Porta, who, like co-founder Nicolas Cepeda, will remain with the company as a consultant.
Gian Reto à Porta, co-founder and long-standing CEO of Contovista: "I wish Dominik every success in his new position and am proud that our Contovista DNA, which has grown over the years, will be continued with this internal appointment. At the same time, I am glad that with the Aduno Group we have a strong team with solid structures behind us. Contovista is thus ideally positioned for the coming years."
The new CEO Dominik Wurzer comments: "I am very much looking forward to my new role, as more and more banks are recognizing the huge potential of data-driven banking. The financial industry is undergoing radical change and banks are increasingly required to offer their customers simple, intelligent digital solutions that they are already accustomed to from other industries."
Aduno Group takes over Contovista in full
The Aduno Group is expanding its previous 70% stake in Contovista to 100%. In March 2016, the Aduno Group initially acquired a minority stake of 14% in Contovista. The stake was then increased to 70% in 2017. Gian Reto à Porta and Nicolas Cepeda, the founders of Contovista, are relinquishing their shares and withdrawing from the operational business at the end of Q1 2020.
