FRA/rap> Stefan J. Rüter, age 34, is Fraport AG's new head of investor relations – a staff unit reporting directly to the company's executive board.  He comes to Fraport from the Hanover-based Continental Group, and he is responsible for communicating with the capital market, advising the executive board on capital market issues, maintaining contact with financial analysts and investors, producing the annual report, and other duties. 

He was born in Villingen in the Black Forest region of southern Germany.  After earning his degree in business administration, Rüter joined Continental AG where he initially worked in corporate finance – particularly capital market transactions.  Since 2003, he has been serving in the investor relations area of this leading German auto parts and tire manufacturer.

Rüter succeeds Christoph Hommerich.  Within Fraport's retail and properties management division, Hommerich is now responsible for real estate and property marketing.  Rüter's staff unit reports to Dr. Stefan Schulte, Fraport's executive board member for finance and construction,  who will become the company's deputy chairman early next year.
