flatexDEGIRO, one of Europe's leading online brokerage platforms, announced the creation of a new executive position, Chief Growth Officer (CGO), and the appointment of Dominik Beier to fill it. The move signals the company's intensified focus on scaling its operations across Europe and broadening its investor base. Beier, who will report directly to CEO Oliver Behrens, will oversee growth strategy, brand development, and customer engagement at the group level.
The newly established role integrates growth, brand, and customer development into a single function, reflecting flatexDEGIRO's commitment to aligning product, customer experience, and marketing more closely. This strategic reorganization is designed to leverage the company's strong market position and brand recognition to attract a wider range of investors, particularly those new to wealth-building. By placing growth at the forefront of its corporate strategy, flatexDEGIRO aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for accessible investment platforms across Europe.
Dominik Beier brings extensive experience in scaling digital platforms, having previously served as Chief Commercial Officer at Bitpanda, where he was responsible for marketing, growth, and international expansion. His career also includes leadership roles such as CEO of the Interwetten Group and senior positions at Sportradar. This background positions him well to drive flatexDEGIRO's next phase of development.
Oliver Behrens, CEO of flatexDEGIRO, commented on the appointment: "flatexDEGIRO has established a unique position in Europe. At the same time, we see significant opportunities to expand our reach, engage new customer segments, and further strengthen our market position. With Dominik, we are gaining one of Europe's most accomplished growth leaders, who has repeatedly demonstrated throughout his career how to successfully unlock exactly this kind of potential."
Beier expressed enthusiasm about his new role, stating: "What excites me about flatexDEGIRO is the company's tremendous potential. The Group has a unique market position in Europe, a large customer base, and an excellent foundation to inspire significantly more people to invest. I look forward to working with the team to unlock this potential and actively shape the company's next stage of development."
The appointment underscores flatexDEGIRO's ambition to further expand its market presence across Europe. The company currently serves more than 3.5 million customers in 16 countries, holds over EUR 100 billion in assets under custody, and executed more than 75 million securities transactions in 2025. By adding a dedicated CGO, flatexDEGIRO is positioning itself to enhance its competitive edge and tap into new customer segments, particularly as retail investing continues to grow in popularity.
Beier is scheduled to assume his role in January 2027, indicating a strategic transition period for the company. This move is part of a broader effort to strengthen its leadership team and ensure sustained growth in the dynamic online brokerage market. As flatexDEGIRO continues to innovate and expand its offerings, the appointment of a Chief Growth Officer is a clear signal of its intent to remain at the forefront of the industry, driving value for both customers and shareholders.
