Team Working Together in a Spirit of Trust

Professionalism, respect and tolerance are the key pillars of the work carried out by the Joachim Herz Foundation. Mutual trust is the hallmark of the way people work together within the Foundation. This involves teamwork, an open dialog including everyone involved, and transparent leadership decisions.

The Joachim Herz Foundation has three governing bodies: the Executive Board, the Board of Trustees, and the Joint Foundation Committee, which comprises both of the above. The remits of each are defined in both the statutes and the Code of Governance.

Executive Board

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. Sabine Kunst

Chairwoman

Sabine Kunst has a doctorate in Water Management and Political Science. She received her postdoctoral qualification in Civil Engineering and Surveying from the Department of Civil Engineering and Surveying at the University of Hannover in 1990. Following on from this, she assumed the position of chair of the Department of Bioprocess Engineering at the University of Hannover from 1991 to 2007. Kunst then took on the role of president at the University of Potsdam between 2007 and 2010, followed by president of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in 2010 to 2011, and a subsequent switch to politics with her appointment as the Minister of Science, Research and Culture for the federal state of Brandenburg. From 2016 to the end of 2021, she acted as president of the Humboldt University of Berlin.

She became a member of the board of the Joachim Herz Foundation on January 15, 2022, and was voted chairwoman on January 19.

Member of the Executive Board

After training as a bank professional, Ulrich Müller studied Business Administration, graduating in 1996. He then worked at one of Germany’s largest insurance groups as an expert on matters such as financial planning and control as well as risk management. Subsequently he then spent three years as Head of Internal Accounting at a family office near Munich before joining one of Germany’s largest travel insurers. In his position as head of department, he was responsible for strategic asset allocation. At the same time, he lectured on capital investments in insurance companies at the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen am Rhein. In 2007, Mr. Müller joined CORO Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, which was run by Joachim and Petra Herz. When the Foundation was established in 2008, he was made Head of Investments, Finance, Organization, and HR. On October 1, 2014, Mr. Müller was made a Member of the Executive Board of the Joachim Herz Stiftung.
