Executive Board expanded to three members
(Hamburg, 28 March 2013) Dr Helmut Becker (44) has been appointed as Chief
Marketing Officer of Tipp24 SE with effect from 1 June 2013. He will thus
expand the company's Executive Board, which currently comprises Dr Hans
Cornehl (CEO) and Andreas Keil (CFO). The position which Petra von
Strombeck held until the spin-off of Lotto24 AG has been vacant since July
2012.
Becker has been Chief Commercial Officer and member of the Executive Board
of XING AG since September 2009. He is currently responsible for the
divisions eRecruiting and Events, as well as activities in Switzerland and
Austria. He has been a member of the Supervisory Board of Tipp24 SE since
mid 2011.
Dr Hans Cornehl, CEO of Tipp24 SE, states: 'Dr Helmut Becker has many years
of in-depth experience in the international online sector and is already
well known to the company due to his seat on our Supervisory Board. Dr
Becker will make an ideal addition to our Executive Board. We look forward
to developing Tipp24's international business together with him.'
Before joining XING AG, Becker was Senior Director Advertising and Internet
Marketing of eBay Germany and Managing Director of eBay Advertising AG for
four years. From 2005 to 2008, he headed the eBay subsidiary Shopping.com
in Germany as Managing Director. Prior to this, he was Director of
Corporate Development at eBay for two years.
He began his career in 1998 as a consultant at McKinsey, where he worked as
a consultant until 2004. Becker studied physics and philosophy at the
University of Hamburg and gained his PhD at the University of Cambridge.
About Tipp24 SE: Tipp24 SE was founded in September 1999 and holds equity
interests in a number of companies in Spain and the UK, which enable
participation in lottery-based games via the Internet, especially via the
websites www.ventura24.es, www.mylotto24.co.uk, www.tipp24.com and
www.geosweep.com. From its foundation to the end of 2008, Tipp24 SE
brokered tickets worth over 1.5 billion euros to the state lottery
companies - in the latter years over 330 million euros annually. Following
its successful IPO in 2005 (Prime Standard), the company was admitted to
the SDAX index in June 2009. In July 2012, German online brokerage
activities were successfully spun off from Tipp24 SE in the form of the
listed company Lotto24 AG. With the acquisition of a stake in the UK-based
company Geonomics Games Limited in December 2012, Tipp24 SE laid the
foundation for the expansion of its international business.
