Rimac Group Appoints Matthias Wich as New CFO

The Rimac Group has announced the appointment of Matthias Wich as its new Chief Financial Officer. Wich currently serves as the organization’s Chief Strategy & Investments Officer and has been a prominent member of the Rimac Group’s executive leadership team for over five years.

This appointment occurs at a critical juncture for the group, which serves as the majority shareholder of Bugatti Rimac and the sole owner of Rimac Technology and Rimac Energy. Across these entities, significant projects are advancing, including the Bugatti Tourbillon, the Rimac Nevera series, large-scale OEM battery and e-axle programs, and next-generation stationary energy storage solutions.

In his new capacity, Matthias Wich will oversee the group’s financial strategy and facilitate the ongoing expansion of its subsidiary companies. Wich possesses over 16 years of experience in finance and corporate strategy, including more than a decade in investment banking at Goldman Sachs and Rothschild. As Chief Strategy & Investments Officer, he established and directed several core functions, encompassing corporate development, portfolio management, M&A, and investor relations.

Throughout his tenure with the Rimac Group, Wich has been instrumental in all primary strategic initiatives, leading funding activities, implementing value creation strategies, and managing negotiations regarding Porsche’s shareholdings in Bugatti Rimac. He also played a vital role in a group-wide structural reorganization to enhance operational efficiency and establish strategic partnerships. Wich succeeds Peter Bednarik, who is departing the organization after serving as Group CFO.

“Matthias has been a key part of the Rimac Group, helping shape our financial and strategic direction at every important step. He knows the business deeply, and he has earned the trust of our team and our investors. Appointing him as CFO of the Rimac Group gives us continuity and strength as we continue to grow,” stated Mate Rimac, Founder and President of the Rimac Group.

“It’s a privilege to take on the role of CFO of the Rimac Group. We have built a strong foundation and a disciplined approach to supporting the growth of our companies. What makes the Rimac Group special is the combination of ambitious ideas, world-class technology and an exceptional team. I’m excited to continue working with colleagues across the group as we enter the next stage of our journey together,” Wich remarked.
