German ins. tech startup Wefox ended its boardroom dispute with its largest <\/strong>stakeholder Mubadala<\/strong>, after the startup named<\/a> former Allianz executive Joachim M\u00fcller (LinkedIn<\/a>) as its new CEO, Bloomberg<\/a> reports. M\u00fcller will replace interim CEO Mark Hartigan, who will remain Wefox\u2019s chairman.<\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>The replacement comes a few months after Wefox\u2019s board decided to replace Hartigan, who took on the role in March<\/a>. Hartigan had supported the sovereign wealth fund\u2019s offer to offload the startup\u2019s core business to rival UK ins. broker Ardonagh Group and split the firm into two, a proposal which the German firm had rejected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>Founded in 2015, Wefox secured multiple investment rounds over the years, with Mubadala leading a round in 2022 that valued the startup at USD 4.5 bn<\/a>. Despite the promising start, the company has faced mounting challenges recently, now grappling with financial pressures due to high operational costs and the need to turn profitable. Hartigan had succeeded Wefox founder Julian Teicke to restructure the financially strained startup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
