Sergio Zunino

After his time as an officer in the German Armed Forces, Zunino dedicated himself to Bayer for 35 years and worked in Berlin, the USA, Spain, South America and at the headquarters in Germany/Leverkusen. During this time, he was given increasing responsibility, starting with his appointment to the Treuhandanstalt for the privatization of state-owned companies, the establishment of the first shared service center for the Bayer Group, his work as CFO & CAO in South America, and finally as global process manager for sales and revenue accounting. He played a key role in shaping the current Bayer Group Reporting System and was also substantially involved in major structural changes such as the takeover of the Schering Group or the takeover of the Monsanto Group. Through these tasks, he gained cross-functional knowledge of processes with regard to their cultural and local requirements, but also taking into account the overall company needs - most recently by leading the global integration of Bayer-Monsanto Accounting through the merger of the respective local national companies (approx. 130 companies). Mr. Zunino currently leads SZO Process & People GmbH as CEO and Owner.
