Alexander Wüerst succeeds Karl-Ludwig Kamprath, CEO of the Munich/Starnberg i. R. district savings banks, who held this position from 2007 to the present. During his tenure as Supervisory Board Chair, Mr. Kamprath steered the group safely through a period of consolidation following many years of vigorous growth and expansion. He has been a calm, collected, and critical interlocutor to Deutscher Leasing’s management and a dependable advisor. Mr. Kamprath played a pivotal role in reinforcing Deutsche Leasing’s position as Sparkassen Finanzgruppe’s Centre of Leasing Excellence and car finance bank. Deutsche Leasing now generates some € 3.2 billion or 40 percent of its new business through its membership in the savings bank network. In addition to Sparkassen Leasing, the savings banks also draw on Deutsche Leasing’s entire product range at home and abroad.

Alexander Wüerst is looking forward to his new role and the challenges that come with it. “The partnership between Deutsche Leasing and the savings banks is a highly successful key component of Sparkassen Finanzgruppe’s business model,“ says Wüerst. Dl and Sparkassen Finanzgruppe have been cooperating closely for over 25 years and this approach proved to be especially beneficial during the financial market crisis. “This impressively demonstrates how successful network cooperation can be if all partners pull together,” Wüerst continued. As German market leader in manufacturer-independent leasing business, Deutsche Leasing will remain the premier provider of innovative leasing solutions that benefit everybody -and especially German SMEs.
