SONGWON Strengthens Executive Team with New CFO Appointment
After nearly two decades of dedicated service, Hans-Peter Wüest has stepped down from his role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of SONGWON Industrial Group, effective April 1, 2025. A cornerstone of the company’s leadership team for 19 years—14 of which he served as CFO—Hans-Peter has been instrumental in shaping SONGWON’s remarkable journey of growth and global expansion. Under his financial leadership, SONGWON has transformed into a leading player on the international stage, guided by a clear strategic vision and sound financial stewardship.
His departure from the CFO role marks the successful conclusion of SONGWON’s carefully planned succession process. As part of this transition, Hans-Peter has also stepped away from the Executive Committee. However, his wealth of experience and deep understanding of the business will not be lost; he will continue to support the company in his capacity as a respected and trusted member of the Board of Directors.
Taking over the reins as CFO is Johannes Honegger, a seasoned financial leader who has been with SONGWON since 2013. Over the past decade, Johannes has worked in close collaboration with Hans-Peter, playing a key role in executing the company’s financial strategy and driving operational efficiencies. His promotion to CFO and appointment to the Executive Committee reflect SONGWON’s commitment to internal development and strategic continuity.
In his new role, Johannes will report directly to the Group CEO and bring his comprehensive financial expertise, proven leadership capabilities, and intimate knowledge of SONGWON’s operations to the fore. His deep-rooted understanding of the company’s culture and long-term vision positions him ideally to ensure a seamless transition and maintain the financial rigor that SONGWON is known for.
This leadership handover represents not only a moment of change but also an opportunity to build on an already solid financial foundation. With Johannes at the financial helm and Hans-Peter continuing his involvement at the board level, SONGWON is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and navigate future opportunities with confidence and clarity.
