Volocopter has appointed Oliver Vogelgesang as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately.
“Oliver will steer the ongoing fundraising activities and future-proof financial activities following its aircraft certification in 2025 and entry into market,” said the company in a press release. “”He takes over this position from Christian Bauer, who remains the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Volocopter.
“Oliver Vogelgesang has three decades of finance experience in the aviation technology sector, holding senior leadership positions across Airbus and, most recently, the CFO position at Lilium N.V. His expertise lies in building up strong and international finance teams, business modelling, and raising capital for transitioning startups, which translate uniquely into Volocopter’s short—to medium-term financial targets. The appointment is well-timed as the company welcomes the shift from development to market entry in 2025.
According to Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Advisory Board
“Financial stability of the company and the industry is timely and crucial; therefore, it is with great pleasure to appoint a dedicated CFO in Oliver Vogelgesang. His international finance and aerospace expertise will strengthen our ties with stakeholders and create opportunities for Volocopter’s future partners and shareholders. I would also like to thank Christian Bauer, who has held the financial and commercial management side together during these challenging market conditions.”
