“With Carine Chardon, gfu is gaining a Managing Director who has excellent industry knowledge and a strong network. Her expertise will ensure that she can seamlessly continue the successful work of Dr. Warneke and further advance gfu. Through her previous roles at ZVEI and the German TV Platform, she has already worked intensively with all key stakeholders in recent years – which will benefit both the substance of gfu’s framework and the intensive work surrounding IFA.

“I am very much looking forward to the new role and to working together with the team at the office to strengthen gfu’s visibility, as well as to further developing IFA together with our partners in its role as the global leading trade show for our industry. Taking over the management of gfu represents both continuity and a new beginning for me: I have a long-standing working relationship with many gfu shareholders through my work at ZVEI – the topics and challenges facing the industry are very familiar to me. At the same time, the move is a real change, one in which I can fully contribute my creativity and creative drive.”
