Volker Wissing to Chair New Christ Capital Advisory Board Pending Federal Review

The non-executive role requires sign-off under Paragraph 6a of the Federal Ministers Act.

Overview

  • Christ Capital announced a newly created advisory board with Wissing as chair to advise owner Harald Christ and the group on long-term strategy and investment decisions.
  • The board is described as purely advisory with no organizational responsibility, including tasks such as identifying growth areas, shaping future clusters and expanding partnerships.
  • Because former cabinet members face post-office restrictions, the federal government must approve the appointment, and Wissing notified the Chancellery on Thursday.
  • No start date was disclosed, and Wissing remains a partner at his law firm founded in 2013 in Landau.
  • Wissing and Christ have longstanding ties from Rheinland-Pfalz and past FDP roles, and the group includes the consultancy Joschka Fischer & Company.
