IMSA Search Global Appoints CFO
June 11, 2019 – Executive search network IMSA Search Global Partners has named Peter Fischer as chief financial officer.
“I am honored that our president, Monika Ciesielska, has asked me to serve our organization and support IMSA Search as the new CFO,” said Mr. Fischer. “I see a huge opportunity to introduce IMSA Search into new markets, expanding its client base. This the goal we hope to reach in the near future.”
Former CFO Wolfgang Kasper announced that he was stepping down from the role during the IMSA spring meeting in Italy. “It was a significant moment in the history of the company,” IMSA said. “Wolfgang was a part of the network for more than a decade. He was a builder, advisor and a very dedicated member of the alliance.”
“I would like to thank you all for the trust and cooperation over these past ten years. I am confident that you will extend this attitude to the new CFO as well,” said Mr. Kasper. “I am sure that you have put IMSA finances in trustworthy, qualified hands.”
Mr. Fischer’s main areas of expertise are technology, financial services and corporate management. He currently serves as CEO of Consent Personnel, a search firm focused on the banking, insurance, IT, finance, public services and healthcare sectors.
