The Supervisory Board of OHB SE (ISIN: DE0005936124, Prime Standard) has appointed Dr. Tim Tecklenburg as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and member of the Executive Board, effective September 1, 2025.
Dr. Tecklenburg most recently served as CFO on the Executive Board of Aebi Schmidt Holding AG in Switzerland. Prior to that, he held senior positions at RUAG Space in Zurich and at Rheinmetall Defence Electronics in Bremen. As a result, Dr. Tecklenburg brings extensive expertise in both the aerospace project business and the defense industry.
“With Dr. Tecklenburg, we are gaining a proven financial expert with in-depth industry knowledge. Of course, Kurt Melching has shaped our company over several decades. However, I am convinced that Tim Tecklenburg is a worthy successor. He will consistently pursue the optimizations we have begun as part of our transformation process while also providing new impetus for profitable growth,” explains Marco Fuchs, CEO of OHB SE.
Dr. Tecklenburg began his academic career by studying business administration at the University of Münster, where he also earned his doctorate. Dr. Tecklenburg is married and the father of two children. The handover of responsibilities will take place in close coordination with his predecessor, Kurt Melching, who will assist him in the coming weeks. In addition, Mr. Melching will assume further strategic responsibilities on the Group Executive Board, particularly in the defense sector.
