Göttelborn, Germany, May 3, 2018. Nanogate SE, a leading global specialist for design-oriented high-tech surfaces and components, has announced that Götz Gollan will be the Group's new Chief Financial Officer.

He combines long-standing experience as a Management Board member in financial services companies with entrepreneurial thinking and analytical expertise. Götz Gollan will provide new momentum to enhance Nanogate's financial area as the company expands internationally."

Ralf Zastrau, Chief Executive Officer of Nanogate SE: "Götz Gollan has known the company for many years and successfully advised on several capital measures, and now we look forward to the next stage of our partnership with him in September. We will benefit from his excellent network and extensive knowledge as we implement our growth strategy."

Götz Gollan will take up his position as Chief Financial Officer of Nanogate SE on September 1, 2018, and will be responsible for the areas of finance, controlling, risk, tax and legal. He is currently COO of equinet Bank AG in Frankfurt am Main, an independent investment bank with full bank status. A business administration graduate, he co-founded the bank in 1999 and managed it as CFO until 2011. Between 2011 and 2016, he was CEO of Privatbank Berlin von 1929 AG, where he was responsible for the complete, successful realignment of its business model before returning to equinet Bank in 2016. He also has industrial experience at many levels, having worked with industrial companies as a Corporate Finance Advisor at Dresdner Bank AG and equinet, as well as through his role at the family office of entrepreneur Daniel Hopp and his long-standing position as Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of First Sensor AG, Berlin.
