Julius Meinl Living recruits new group Chief Financial Officer
Julius Meinl Living PLC, through its group companies, acquires prime real estate assets in major European political and
economic capital cities for development into top rated hotel properties that comprise mainly apartments and that the
group then operates itself ("Julius Meinl Living").
The group's flagship properties use the name "The Julius" - drawing on the Julius Meinl family's 163-year expertise and
excellence in consumer goods, retail and real estate.
Julius Meinl Living aims for "The Julius" to become a genuine pan-European brand with flagship properties in central
and dominant locations in the political and commercial capitals of western and central Europe.
Julius Meinl Living is delighted to have recruited Martin Konecný to replace Erik Webb Dempsey as group CFO.
Martin is a seasoned finance executive with 17 years of experience at senior CFO and finance leadership levels,
preceded by a career in banking and audit. Most recently, Martin served as Group CFO of ARETE Group, a Czech SICAV fund
and pan-European logistics developer, where he built the group's finance function from the ground up and led the
successful sale of a previous SICAV fund to Cromwell Property Group in 2021. Earlier in his career, Martin held senior
finance roles at P3 Group - including Group Head of Risks and Operations and Group Financial Controller - where he was
instrumental in the EUR2.4 billion sale of P3 to GIC Singapore and a EUR1.8 billion refinancing. He also spent four years
as Country Financial Officer at Citibank Czech Republic and thirteen years at KPMG in audit and advisory, including a
secondment in New York. Martin holds a Master of Economics from the University of Economics in Prague and completed an
Executive MBA program with the University of Bristol (UK) and École de Management (France).
As group CFO, Martin will become a director of Julius Meinl Living PLC and of certain of the group's subsidiary
companies.
It is expected that Martin will start work at Julius Meinl Living not later than 2 November 2026, once all of his
obligations to ARETE Group have been concluded.
Erik Webb Dempsey has resigned for personal health reasons, with immediate effect. Julius Meinl Living thanks Erik for
his significant contribution to the group over the past seven years and wishes him well in all of his future
activities.
