CG Elementum AG strengthens management team – Seja and Zischg on the Management Board

The nationwide developer of ecological and sustainable real estate CG Elementum AG strengthens its management team. The Supervisory Board of CG Elementum appointed Jessica Seja and Marcus Zischg as new members of the Executive Board. Both will take up their new positions on January 1, 2022

Jessica Seja will be responsible for Human Resources, Legal Affairs, Marketing, Internal Services and Social Commitment on the Executive Board and will continue to expand the departments structurally. She previously headed the marketing department as an authorized signatory of CG Elementum. Jessica Seja worked for Investitionsbank Berlin (IBB) for around 17 years before joining the group. 

Marcus Zischg, who has been in charge of CG Elementum’s branches in Cologne and Koblenz since 2020, is responsible for technology, innovation/digitalization, prefabrication, research and sustainability. Marcus Zischg already built up HGW Bauträger GmbH in Koblenz into one of the leading property developers in the region as managing partner during his studies. 

Effective December 31, 2021, Frank Preuss will step down from the Management Board of CG Elementum. 

Christoph Gröner, Chairman of the Management Board of CG Elementum, said, “I am pleased with the decision of the Supervisory Board, because with the appointment of the new positions, the expertise in central functions will once again be significantly strengthened. Moreover, both colleagues come from within the company and thus prove the possibility to rise up to the Management Board through dedicated work.” 

He thanked his former colleague on the Executive Board: “Frank Preuss has played a decisive role in shaping our company over the last two years. He was a key driver in the areas of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and prefabrication. Our team benefited from this even before his time on the Executive Board, and I am all the more pleased that he will continue to accompany us in the further implementation of our prefabrication strategy.” 

The responsibilities of the now five-member Executive Board of CG Elementum will be structured as follows in the future: 

• Corporate Development, Group Planning and Strategy, Investor Relations: Christoph Gröner (CEO) 
• Technology, Innovation/Digitalization, Prefabrication, Research and Sustainability: Marcus Zischg (CTO/CSO) 
• Project Development, Construction and Engineering, Real Estate Management: Ulf Graichen (CDO) 
• Finance/Controlling/Taxes, Structures/Processes/IT, Compliance/Data Privacy: Martin A. Müller (CFO/CIO) 
• Human Resources, Legal, Marketing, Internal Services, Social Commitment: Jessica Seja (CAO) 

Jessica Seja, Marcus Zischg and Martin A. Müller receive procuration in the parent company of CG Elementum, the Gröner Group. 

George Moutoulis, as a deserving and long-standing branch manager in Stuttgart and Munich and thus responsible for all project developments of CG Elementum in Württemberg and Bavaria, also assumes new responsibilities: He will become an authorized signatory of Gröner Group effective January 1, 2022. 

Christoph Gröner: “This adjusted structure of responsibilities makes our dynamically growing company even more powerful. I am convinced that with the addition to the Management Board, we will be able to meet the constantly growing challenges of the real estate industry even better. The focus here is on green technology, which we are pursuing just as systematically as the digitization of planning and construction processes by means of BIM and the subsequent use of prefabrication. This is the only way we can meet the high standards of sustainable real estate development.”
