On April 1, 2016, Bernhard Lang was inducted into industry specialist msg’s managerial team. With his degree in engineering, Lang has been an active member of the msg team for more than 15 years, holding a variety of managerial positions and will now be able to use his role as a member of the Board of Directors to advance the msg group’s international insurance business.
Bernhard Lang will be taking over his new responsibility for the Products and Development divisions from Frank Plechinger, whose health recently forced him to retire from the Board of Directors. Lang will occupy this position in addition to his role as Co-CEO of msg global solutions, an organizational unit of the msg group that specializes in international insurance business.
Lang joined the msg group in 1996 after completing his studies in mechanical and industrial engineering and has been involved in the development and expansion of the group’s international SAP insurance business since 2000. In 2008, he worked with Peter Umscheid to found msg global solutions ag, a company that now boasts more than 700 employees located across 20 subsidiaries in 15 countries.
“I am looking forward to my new position and to the opportunity to promote topics related to product development as well as internationalization for the entire group,” Bernhard Lang comments. “In doing so, I feel it is very important that we maintain a clear strategy for growth and for the expansion of our global business.”
“We are excited to have Bernhard Lang as a new member of our Board of Directors,” emphasizes Hans Zehetmaier, Chairman of the Board of Directors at msg systems ag. “Bernhard Lang has been driving the international expansion of the msg group’s insurance business for years. That is why his nomination to the board is simply the logical next step and will allow him to help shape the expansion of our global business from a higher level.”
