Straumann Group appoints Isabelle Adelt as Chief Financial Officer

Basel, March 7, 2025: Straumann Group announces the appointment of Isabelle Adelt as Chief Financial Officer and Member of the Executive Management Board. Isabelle will join the Straumann Group on July 1, 2025, and will succeed Yang Xu. The Group announced last month that Yang Xu decided to leave the Straumann Group to pursue opportunities outside the company.

Guillaume Daniellot, Chief Executive Officer, said: “I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Isabelle as a dynamic finance leader with a strong ability to turn strategy into action. She has a proven track record of driving value, fostering diverse high-performing teams, and navigating complex international environments. Her passion for digitalization and sustainable growth makes her a fantastic addition to our management team. I’m excited to welcome her on board and look forward to working closely together.”

Isabelle Adelt joins Straumann Group from the publicly listed FUCHS SE Group in Germany, the world’s largest independent lubricant manufacturer, where she is Chief Financial Officer and Executive Board member since 2022. With over 15 years of international leadership experience, she has deep expertise in finance, management consulting, and private equity. Before FUCHS SE, Isabelle held key financial roles at Schenck Process, a Blackstone company, and also served as CFO of Zeiss Greater China.

She began her career as a performance improvement consultant at Ernst & Young in Germany and has since worked in both publicly listed and family-run businesses, gaining extensive international experience in Germany, Poland, and China.

Born in 1984, Isabelle is a German citizen and holds an MBA from the Bielefeld University, Germany.
