Animal Lovers<br />
Dr. Jens Pippig will continue to drive the<br />
ecosystem forward as a new member of the<br />
Fressnapf management team<br />
From the end of <strong>2021</strong>, Dr. Jens Pippig<br />
will support the management team at<br />
Fressnapf as Senior Vice President. In this<br />
newly created position, he will implement<br />
all services of the ecosystem in Europe in<br />
order to offer a comprehensive range of<br />
services for all pet owners. This portfolio<br />
includes Activet veterinary practices, the<br />
online veterinarian "Dr. Fressnapf," pet<br />
tech services such as GPS trackers, and<br />
the brokerage of pet insurance, services<br />
and travel offers for pets. Whether online,<br />
mobile or in the store on site - a unique<br />
ecosystem is to be created around the<br />
clock on all available customer channels to<br />
connect <strong>pro</strong>ducts, services as well as pet<br />
owners and their animals and to become<br />
the number one contact for all questions<br />

in founding and building new business<br />

"Jens is a great asset to Fressnapf and our<br />
ecosystem for pet lovers," says Torsten<br />
Toeller, Fressnapf founder and owner. "He<br />
will help us set up elemental areas for the<br />
future to bring all facets of our ecosystem to<br />
life for customers in Europe."<br />
The Ecosystem Services unit will bundle the<br />
existing services in the future. In addition,<br />
Fressnapf is not only aiming to establish<br />
its own start-ups and venture investments,<br />
but also to cooperate with innovative<br />
start-ups in the pet industry. Many new<br />
employees and interesting ideas are sought<br />
for the ecosystem that is currently being<br />
established. In addition to own start-ups<br />
and venture investments, cooperations<br />
with innovative start-ups in the pet industry<br />
are also planned.<br />
