In the end, Rouven Kasper could hardly reject the advance of Bayern Munich. After chief financial officer Michael Diederich left the Bavarians to become global co-head of the Deutsche Bank’s corporate bank, Bayern needed to find a replacement and quickly found their primary target: Rouven Kasper, VfB Stuttgart’s chief marketing and sales officer.
Kasper had spent 5 years previously at Bayern in charge of growing the Bavarians’ reputation in the Asia-Pacific area and handled his job competently, but was enticed away for a bigger role at Stuttgart. Now Bayern have done the same by offering the German a position as part of their 3 man board. Kasper is set to start his new job in January 2026, so he has already said his goodbyes at Stuttgart.

“On Monday I cleared out my office and said goodbye to the entire staff on Tuesday. In terms of my responsibilities, FC Bayern is a whole different world,” Kasper said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “The power, emotion, and fascination that this club exudes is difficult to grasp if you haven’t experienced the structure from the inside. I’ve already had that experience and now have the chance to be one of three board members at one of the biggest football clubs in the world.”
Good luck in your new role, Kasper.
