Hamburg, April 6, 2023

• Dominik Tenhumberg is leaving his position as Managing Director of Becken Development GmbH at his own request after 10 years with the company
• Top management consists of Joachim Schmidt-Mertens and Jens Hogekamp as of April 1, 2023

Dominik Tenhumberg stepped down from his position as managing director of Becken Development GmbH at the end of March at his own request and, in agreement with Dieter Becken, left the Becken Group to pursue new opportunities. After joining the company in 2013, he had been responsible for the management of Becken Development GmbH since 2016. He will be succeeded on April 1 by Jens Hogekamp, who has headed the Asset Management division of the Becken Group since 2017. Becken Development GmbH will thus continue to be led by a new dual leadership team consisting of him and the previous managing director, Joachim Schmidt-Mertens.

Dieter Becken, Managing Partner of Becken Holding GmbH, says: "Dominik Tenhumberg has made a significant contribution to the growth of the Becken Group, which has developed over the past ten years from a Hamburg-based player to a real estate and investment company operating throughout Germany. My personal thanks go to him for this. I wish him all the very best for his personal and professional future."

Jörn Stobbe, CEO of Becken Holding GmbH, says: "I would also like to personally thank Dominik Tenhumberg for the very good and highly professional cooperation. At the same time, we are delighted that Jens Hogekamp has been immediately appointed to the position. In addition to project development, he will also bring important know-how for sustainable refurbishments of existing buildings to the Development division. These synergies will further strengthen the Becken Group." Jens Hogekamp explains: "I would like to thank the management for the trust they have placed in me and for appointing me to the new Managing Director position. I am looking forward to the new tasks and to playing my part in the team with Joachim Schmidt-Mertens for sustainable project developments and the transformation of existing properties."
