With its existing hotels in German A-cities we are firmly convinced that the Group is well positioned for the forthcoming recovery period. The repositioning of the Group around the strategic areas of technology and digitalization as well as the establishment of an own brand focusing on long-term stay and work space will enable us to come out of the crisis even stronger addressing the requirements of a new market environment. I am pleased to welcome Mr. Kupka and look forward to an exciting partnership capitalising on his leadership experience in the areas of technology and finance,” said Andreas Erben, Managing Director and Founder:
“I am excited about the new leadership task for the expansion of the Primestar Group around the important strategic pillars of technology and own hotel brand while further strengthening the Group’s existing franchise segment. The new market requirements post-Covid have accelerated the importance of digitalization and technology as well as multi-use concepts around work space and long-term stay. I am looking forward to supporting the Primestar Group with my leadership experience of establishing and growing technology companies. I am particularly pleased to work alongside Andreas Erben who is one of the most experienced and renowned hospitality managers of the last decades,” said Oliver Kupka Managing Director and co-shareholder of Primestar Holding.
