Europace Ratenkredit GmbH restructured its management team effective 1st July 2026. Slavisa Gvozden has been appointed to the management board and will now lead the company alongside Jörg Haffner. Gvozden will also take on the newly created position of Chief Product Officer (CPO) in the instalment loan division of Hypoport's Financing Platforms segment.
Slavisa Gvozden joins from smava, where he served as VP Product. In his new role as CPO at Hypoport-Ratenkredit, he will be responsible for the entire product and service portfolio throughout its lifecycle. His task is to translate strategic objectives into concrete product developments.
Realignment of Company Leadership
As part of these changes, Diana Radke, previously Managing Director of Europace Ratenkredit GmbH, will assume the also newly created position of Chief Growth Officer (CGO) in the instalment loan segment. In this role, she will be responsible for growth by expanding existing customer relationships and integrating new partners. Ms Radke will remain closely involved with the product organisation as Director Product. She commented on this strategic decision, stating that growth arises from the actual use of products, which must be continuously developed. Her role as CGO connects product-driven growth of customer relationships, the onboarding of new partners, and the close integration of customer feedback into product development.
The personnel adjustments are part of a broader reorganisation of leadership responsibilities within Hypoport's instalment loan division. This division includes Europace Ratenkredit GmbH, Dr. Klein Ratenkredit GmbH, and GENOFLEX GmbH. The aim of this realignment is to establish a transparent responsibility structure aligned with three central growth pillars: Sales & Marketing, Product-Led Growth, and Product & Service Portfolio.
Jörg Haffner, Board Member of Hypoport Financing AG and the segment holding company of Hypoport Financing Platforms Segment, commented on the developments. He emphasised that Slavisa Gvozden is an individual who brings profound expertise in digitalisation, technology, and scaling. The positioning of Diana Radke as CGO also ensures the continued integration of customer perspective and product development at Europace Ratenkredit GmbH.
