Dr Christian Thywissen – a CFO’s Point of View

The role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in any large company is to provide financial stability to the organisation through leadership in financial planning, accounting, budgeting and reporting. But as this far-reaching profile of Dr Christian Thywissen, CFO of Veridos, shows, the role can take you into many other areas of business activity.

After successful finance management roles at Symrise, Infineon, EADS and most recently as the Managing Director Finance at the Palm Group of paper making companies, in April 2022 Dr Thywissen joined the senior management team of Veridos – the joint venture between Bundesdruckerei and G+D.

His career experiences had exposed him to plenty of international operational finance planning which was good preparation for the government ID sector.
