Lenze
Owner Family re-enters the Operating Business
For the first time in almost 20 years, the Lenze Group's owner family is returning to the operational side of the business. Lena Günther and Dr. Moritz Belling take on management roles and are to help shape the automation specialist's future program.
The Lenze Group, based in Aerzen, is bringing the owner family back into operational responsibility: Dr. Moritz Belling (34) has held the position of Director Transformation since 5 September 2025. He is responsible for strategic projects in the CEO department and reports to CEO Marc Wucherer. On October 6, 2025, Lena Günther (28) will take over as Head of Business Development in the Finance department under CFO Bruno Krauss.
"The transformation of Lenze is an entrepreneurial task that I am tackling with full conviction. I see great potential to further expand our strengths in technology, partnership and digital innovation," said Belling on taking office.
Both new additions bring with them experience in venture capital, private equity and management consulting.
Dr. Belling was most recently Principal at the European venture capital investor Earlybird and previously worked as a consultant at the Boston Consulting Group, advising family businesses in the areas of strategy, restructuring and governance. Dr. Belling completed his academic education in London, Beijing and Munich. In 2020, he received his doctorate from the Technical University of Berlin as Dr. rer. oec.
Günther worked as an investor at a medium-sized private equity fund in Hamburg and previously at Bain & Company and J.P. Morgan. Her academic background includes a bachelor's degree in Strategic Design and Management from Parsons School of Design and an MBA from Columbia Business School with a focus on family businesses.
