A new wind at Deutsche Bahn: the supervisory board decides on the appointment of the board of directors

The supervisory board of Deutsche Bahn is meeting on Thursday and there is great excitement. There are important decisions to be made that affect the group's board of directors. This particularly concerns the positions for finance, DB Regio and DB Cargo. The CFO has been vacant since May, when Levin Holle moved to the Federal Chancellery. The decision as to who will succeed Sigrid Nikutta at DB Cargo will also be exciting - her dismissal follows ongoing challenges in the freight division. The pressure is growing, and the coming changes could bring a breath of fresh air into the time-honored corporate culture.

Promising personalities have been nominated for the board positions: Karin Dohm, who formerly managed Hornbach, Harmen van Zijderveld, who previously worked as regional manager, and Bernhard Osburg, who was previously responsible for Thyssenkrupp's steel division. The Supervisory Board will examine all options today and possibly set a decisive course for the future of Deutsche Bahn. The role of Evelyn Palla, who has been leading the company as the new CEO since October 1st, will also be of central importance.

The path to change

The supervisory board is faced with the challenge of re-orchestrating leadership in stormy times. The dismissal of Sigrid Nikutta already shows that no one is safe behind the wheel if the results are lacking. The railway is facing an enormous upheaval that not only affects its internal structures, but could also shape the public's perception of the company.

At the same time, Katy Perry, the American pop singer, is also in the headlines. She celebrated her 41st birthday on October 25, an occasion that brought numerous appearances and promotions. Perry, who was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, has made a name for herself in the music scene through her stubbornness and creative contributions. Her career is marked by hits such as “I Kissed a Girl” and “Teenage Dream”.

Katy Perry's career and involvement

Perry, who grew up in a strictly religious pastor's couple, didn't have it easy. The hard times of her childhood, when her family was dependent on food stamps, shaped her. Nevertheless, she didn't let herself be discouraged and started singing at an early age. Her first steps into the music scene turned out to be legendary: with sales of millions of albums and award-winning performances, including an unforgettable halftime performance at the 2015 Super Bowl, she has become one of the most influential artists of her generation.

Currently, Perry has continued to revive her career with new projects such as the album “143”, released in September 2024, and her final goodbye show in Las Vegas, which took place on November 4, 2023. In addition to her music career, Perry is also involved in charitable causes and became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2013.

While Deutsche Bahn is embarking on a course of serious change, Katy Perry's career shows that remarkable developments are also taking place outside Germany's borders that can change her place in the world. Here and there it remains exciting!
