flatexDEGIRO, one of Europe's leading online brokerage platforms, has announced the creation of a new executive position, Chief Growth Officer (CGO), and the appointment of Dominik Beier to fill the role. This strategic move is designed to intensify the company's focus on growth, brand development, and customer engagement as it seeks to expand its footprint across Europe and draw in a broader range of investors.
Beier, who will report directly to CEO Oliver Behrens, will be responsible for shaping the Group's growth and brand strategy, as well as fostering closer integration between product, customer experience, and marketing. The creation of this role underscores flatexDEGIRO's ambition to strengthen its market position in Europe and leverage its brand to encourage more individuals to invest for long-term wealth creation.
Dominik Beier brings a wealth of experience in scaling digital platforms. Most recently, he served as Chief Commercial Officer at Bitpanda, where he oversaw marketing, growth, and international expansion. Prior to that, he held roles such as CEO of Interwetten Group and senior leadership positions at Sportradar. His track record of driving growth in the digital asset and sports betting sectors makes him a fitting choice for this newly established position.
Oliver Behrens, CEO of flatexDEGIRO, commented on the appointment: “flatexDEGIRO has established a unique position in Europe. At the same time, we see significant opportunities to expand our reach, engage new customer segments, and further strengthen our market position. With Dominik, we are gaining one of Europe's most accomplished growth leaders, who has repeatedly demonstrated throughout his career how to successfully unlock exactly this kind of potential.”
Dominik Beier also expressed his enthusiasm: “What excites me about flatexDEGIRO is the company's tremendous potential. The Group has a unique market position in Europe, a large customer base, and an excellent foundation to inspire significantly more people to invest. I look forward to working with the team to unlock this potential and actively shape the company's next stage of development.”
Beier is set to assume his role in January 2027. The strategic importance of this appointment cannot be overstated. As flatexDEGIRO continues to serve more than 3.5 million customers across 16 countries, with over EUR 100 billion in assets under custody and more than 75 million securities transactions executed in 2025, the company is clearly positioning itself for its next phase of growth. By centralizing growth and brand leadership at the Group level, flatexDEGIRO aims to capitalize on its strengths and explore new opportunities in the European brokerage market.
The creation of the CGO position reflects a broader trend among financial services firms to prioritize customer-centric growth strategies. As competition intensifies and investor demographics evolve, the ability to effectively integrate product development, user experience, and marketing becomes crucial. flatexDEGIRO's move to bring in a seasoned executive like Beier signals a deliberate effort to stay ahead of these trends and maintain its competitive edge.
