Deutsche Messe expands Executive Board

Deutsche Messe has expanded its Executive Board to three members in order to strengthen the company’s future strategic direction. Chairman of the Executive Board Dr Jochen Köckler will focus on further developing the exhibition business at the Hannover venue, with a particular emphasis on strengthening established flagship trade fairs such as Domotex and attracting new partner events. Since May 2026, he has been supported by Dr Holger Feist and Konstantin Kühl as additional board members. Dr Feist, who most recently served as Chief Strategy Officer at Messe München, is responsible for developing new business both domestically and internationally, as well as driving the company’s digitisation. Kühl, previously a partner at the management consultancy Roland Berger, will focus on the strategic evaluation and further development of the current business model.
