today announced the appointment of Andreas Schöpperle as its new Group
General Counsel. Mr. Schöpperle has more than 20 years of experience
across Europe, APAC and Africa, with extensive work in cross-border

ten years. His leadership of the legal and compliance team helped secure
the development and overriding success of our organization.”

Counsel of BearingPoint. BearingPoint is a great Partnership with an
