Focus on the platform business: JDC Group and its subsidiary Jung, DMS & Cie. scale up their boards

Jung, DMS & Cie. AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of JDC Group AG, has expanded its Executive Board by two members: Christoph Schmitz, Head of Insurance Operations, has been appointed to the Executive Board of Jung, DMS & Cie. AG, where he will also be responsible for the Commission/Settlement division. Following her full return from parental leave, Johanna Bartsch, Head of Project and Sales Management, will also join the Executive Board of Jung, DMS & Cie. with the same responsibilities as before, effective January 1, 2027. Dr. Sebastian Grabmaier (Chair), Ralph Konrad (IT and Finance), and Marcus Rex (Product Management, Sales and Marketing) complete the future five-member Executive Board of Jung, DMS & Cie. In addition to the continued successful expansion of fund and insurance portfolios and the equally encouraging asset management business, the focus will be on developing new business and expanding broker sales.

The holding company’s Executive Board will henceforth consist of the three existing members: Dr. Sebastian Grabmaier (CEO), Ralph Konrad (CFO/CTO) and Dr. Ramona Evens (COO), with Dr. Grabmaier assuming responsibility for the Group’s sales division in addition to his existing duties. The Executive Board of JDC Group AG is therefore being streamlined in favor of the operational platform subsidiary Jung, DMS & Cie.

“JDC Group and its platform subsidiary Jung, DMS & Cie. have grown dynamically and very successfully in recent years. With their platform technology, they offer a market-leading solution for brokers, independent financial advisors, sales organizations, tied agents, banks and exclusive sales organizations for the processing and servicing of all types of insurance and financial products. In addition to the core areas of insurance and investment funds, JDC intermediaries can also offer, process and manage all other relevant asset classes for their clients via the JDC platform, including wealth management, mortgage financing, real estate and alternative assets. The strong pace of growth and recent market developments require a realignment of responsibilities within the executive boards of both the holding company and the platform subsidiary,” explains Dr. Sebastian Grabmaier, CEO of JDC Group, on the changes to the management team. “I am delighted that we were able to appoint Christoph Schmitz and Johanna Bartsch to these newly defined roles from within our own ranks. Both are highly experienced executives who have been key pillars of our company for more than ten years and enjoy our fullest confidence. I am particularly pleased that our well-established and experienced Executive Board colleague Marcus Rex will take responsibility for further strengthening the position of the highly scalable JDC platform in the broker and distribution market, thereby driving new business growth. This is another area where we intend to return to double-digit growth rates.”
