Bitpanda announces leadership evolution: Eric Demuth becomes Executive Chairman & President of the Board, driving Bitpanda’s global vision and growth strategy.
After more than a decade leading Bitpanda as Co-CEO, Eric Demuth will take on the role as Executive Chairman & President of the Board (Verwaltungsratspräsident) of Bitpanda Group AG, the Swiss holding company of the Bitpanda Group.
In this position, Eric will focus on shaping Bitpanda’s long-term vision and strategy, while driving the company’s global expansion and growth agenda.
This marks the next logical step in Bitpanda’s evolution. From its beginnings as a bold Austrian startup, Bitpanda has grown into one of Europe’s most trusted and regulated digital investment platforms, serving millions of users and institutional partners.
“Over the past ten years, Bitpanda has evolved from a bold idea into one of Europe’s most trusted digital investment platforms. As we enter the next phase of our global journey, I remain fully involved in shaping Bitpanda’s strategy and expansion. In my new role as Executive Chairman and President of the Board I’ll continue to work closely with Lukas and our teams to push the company forward, strengthen our strategic foundation, and ensure Bitpanda remains a driving force of financial innovation in Europe and beyond.”
As Bitpanda enters this new phase, Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad will become sole CEO. Lukas said:
“Eric’s vision and growth mindset have been and continue to be fundamental to Bitpanda’s success. As he transitions into his new role as Executive Chairman, we’ll continue working closely together to execute our global growth strategy and make investing simple, secure, and accessible for everyone, everywhere.”
This transition reflects Bitpanda’s maturity: combining robust governance, strong leadership, and ambitious global vision.
