Dr. Paul-Bernhard Kallen, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Hubert Burda Media: “We are driven by the desire to continuously improve the quality of our media brands and products. In this endeavour, we focus on our readers, our users and our customers and align all our activities with their demands. This applies to the same extent to our magazines in Germany and abroad and to our numerous Internet-based media offerings and services.
During the past fiscal year, we managed to expand and strengthen our operations in the business divisions Domestic Publishing, Foreign Publishing, Printing and Digital. Consequently, we are back on the growth path and managed to build the foundation for significantly more rapid growth in the next few years. The entire Burda team worked hard last year to implement the corporate targets.

As per the end of the year 2010, Hubert Burda made his children – the fourth generation of this entrepreneurial family – shareholders in the business. He thus set the course for keeping Hubert Burda Media as a family-owned company in the future. We consider the opportunities that this setup offers with regard to long-term corporate planning to be more attractive than easier access to the capital market.”
