ProSiebenSat.1 Media has appointed Ingrid Heisserer as Group Chief Financial Officer as the German media company continues its financial and operational transformation.
Heisserer will assume the role on February 1, 2027, succeeding Bob Rajan, who has served as Interim Group CFO since October 2025 and will remain in the position until the transition.
Heisserer brings more than 20 years of senior financial leadership across media and consumer businesses.
Most recently, she served as both CFO and Chief Human Resources Officer of RTL Deutschland, where she helped lead a transformation spanning the shift toward streaming, portfolio simplification, major cost reductions and complex M&A transactions.
Before joining RTL Deutschland, Heisserer spent more than two decades at L’Oréal in finance leadership positions across Germany, France, Russia and Brazil.
She became CFO of L’Oréal’s German Luxury Division in 2016 and later served as CFO for Germany and Austria.
Her German-French background and European operating experience also align with ProSiebenSat.1’s changing strategic environment as largest shareholder MFE-MEDIAFOREUROPE pursues its vision for a broader pan-European media alliance.
ProSiebenSat.1 said Rajan’s tenure has helped improve the company’s financial position through simplified processes, greater cash discipline and portfolio divestments.
Management said profitability has improved significantly while the company’s financial foundation and portfolio have become more focused.
Heisserer will join the Executive Board with a mandate to build on those improvements and help convert the company’s recent restructuring progress into sustainable growth.
