LAIQON Appoints Joint CEOs to Drive GROWTH 28 Strategy

LAIQON AG, a Hamburg-based asset and wealth manager, is realigning its leadership for its next phase of growth. The Supervisory Board has appointed Achim Plate and Axel Hörger as joint CEOs, combining their complementary expertise to strengthen operational execution. Plate, CEO since January 2020, has driven the Group’s strategic realignment and growth, evolving LAIQON into an innovative provider of traditional, digital, and AI-based investment solutions. Hörger, Chief Strategy Officer since January 2026, has worked closely with Plate to implement the GROWTH 28 strategy. Under the new structure, Plate will oversee the Digital Wealth segment, including white-label partnerships, as well as Finance, Technology, and Investor Relations/Corporate Communications. Hörger will continue to lead Asset Management and Wealth Management, along with Internationalisation and Sustainability. Dr Stefan Rindfleisch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, praised the duo’s complementary skills and emphasized that the joint CEO structure will enhance operational leadership and position the company for its next phase of growth and scaling. The Supervisory Board also intends to appoint an additional Management Board member in 2027, considering both internal and external candidates.

With GROWTH 28, LAIQON aims to become a leading AI-focused asset and wealth manager, targeting assets under management exceeding EUR 15 billion by 2028. The company plans to expand its scalable platform architecture, strengthen its AI competitive edge in European wealth management, and integrate its three business segments more closely. International expansion will focus on core European markets, building on existing distribution channels in the Benelux countries and France, with additional access in Italy and Spain, while continuing to grow in Switzerland. Both CEOs expressed confidence in the strategy, with Plate noting that the joint structure will allow them to leverage combined experience to scale digital and AI-based solutions, and Hörger emphasizing closer integration of LAIQON’s strengths and deeper client relationships.
