Gerrit Müller-Rüster hands over the position of Chief Financial Officer to Kristin Asmussen

Dear Gerrit, we would like to thank you for your commitment and are delighted that you are continuing to play an active role in shaping the Digital Challenge.

Gerrit and Axel Schulz developed the idea of strengthening the connection between San Francisco and Kiel through an association during a bus trip on the first delegation trip to San Francisco. Since then, The Bay Areas has grown into an active and vibrant community that has reached many milestones since 2017. Gerrit has accompanied this journey as Chief Financial Officer and also achieved non-profit status for our association last year.

As Gerrit did not stand for re-election for professional reasons, the general meeting on March 13 elected Kristin Asmussen to the board alongside Axel Schulz and Frank Bösenkötter, who has already actively supported us as a co-opted member for a year. We look forward to working together!
