His other experience includes various financial leadership positions at Lufthansa from 2002 to 2014, and as associate director at UBS Group from 1995 to 1999.
N26 chair of the supervisory board Marcus Mosen says Schwierholz is an “experienced financial leader” whose experience in large corporations, fast-growing companies and established organisations “will make an important contribution to the development of N26”.
