EidosMedia has appointed Stefan Bresslauer as general manager of its German subsidiary in Frankfurt.

The company's digital publishing platforms are widely used by news media groups in Germany with a claimed market share of 50 per cent of the top ten regional media groups by circulation and including national titles and pure digital publishers such as news portal T-Online. EidosMedia solutions are also increasingly used for publishing financial research by global investment banks and rating agencies.

Chief operating officer Holger Hofmann says Bresslauer's experience in financial service technology will be "particularly valuable" in growing the customer base in financial research and publishing in Europe.

He joins from global financial technology provider FIS, where he was European vice president of sales and head of business solutions. He also held senior managerial and sales leadership roles at Thomson Reuters, among them as managing director of their Austrian and Southeast European subsidiaries.

Bresslauer says he looking forward to his new role. "I will be looking to build upon our strong position in news media in Germany," he says. "But our strong position in global Tier 1 financial research organizations opens significant further growth potential for Eidosmedia in the region."
