“As the company continues its long-term growth trajectory and transformation into the ultimate European pet destination, Steffen’s extensive financial and retail expertise will be invaluable for zooplus’ further development. At the same time, I would like to thank Andreas Maueröder in the name of the whole zooplus team for his outstanding work and dedication over the past nearly 14 years. We sincerely wish him all the best for his professional and personal future.”
