flatexDEGIRO, one of Europe's leading online brokerage platforms, has announced the creation of a new executive position, Chief Growth Officer (CGO), and the appointment of Dominik Beier to fill the role. This strategic move underscores the company's commitment to accelerating its growth across Europe, enhancing its brand, and attracting a broader range of investors.
The newly established role consolidates growth strategy, brand leadership, and customer development at the group level. Dominik Beier, who will report directly to CEO Oliver Behrens, will be responsible for fostering closer integration between product, customer experience, and marketing. His mandate includes refining the group's growth and brand strategy, leveraging the full potential of the flatexDEGIRO brand, and strengthening its market position in the competitive European brokerage landscape.
Beier brings a wealth of experience in scaling digital platforms, having previously served as Chief Commercial Officer at Bitpanda, where he led marketing, growth, and international expansion. His career also includes roles as CEO of the Interwetten Group and senior leadership positions at Sportradar. This background makes him well-suited to drive flatexDEGIRO's next phase of development, focusing on engaging new customer segments and expanding its reach.
CEO Oliver Behrens commented on the appointment, stating, "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."
Dominik Beier expressed his enthusiasm for the new challenge, noting, "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 creation of the CGO position and the appointment of Beier, who will assume his role in January 2027, signal flatexDEGIRO's strategic intent to bolster its leadership team and drive growth. This move is particularly significant given the company's recent performance: it serves more than 3.5 million customers across 16 countries, holds over EUR 100 billion in assets under custody, and executed more than 75 million securities transactions in 2025. By focusing on growth and brand development at the executive level, flatexDEGIRO aims to unlock its full potential and inspire more individuals to engage in long-term wealth creation through investing.
The expansion of the executive board comes at a time when European online brokerage is becoming increasingly competitive. flatexDEGIRO's proprietary technology, which ensures high platform availability and service quality, positions it well to capitalize on the growing interest in retail investing. With Beier's expertise in scaling platforms and driving customer acquisition, the company is poised to strengthen its foothold in existing markets and potentially enter new ones.
As flatexDEGIRO continues to evolve, the integration of growth, brand, and customer development under a single CGO will likely enable more cohesive and impactful strategies. This move demonstrates the company's proactive approach to leadership and its dedication to staying ahead in the rapidly changing financial services landscape.
