Hiring Market: Sabine Jünger Named Managing Director Europe at Front Row
Effective January 1, 2027, Sabine Jünger will become Managing Director Europe of the Front Row Group, joining the existing leadership team of Daniel Andrlik, Benjamin Weyrich and Niall Donohoe. Founders Jan Bechler, Tim Nedden and Björn Sjut will step down from the management team in spring 2027 but will remain with the company as Founding Partners and shareholders, focusing on strategic development, M&A and AI implementation. Front Row (founded in 2014 as Finc3) operates ecommerce management, a global software product business (Catapult), B2B digital marketing and D2C store development, and reported strong double-digit growth with over 600 employees worldwide. Jünger previously led OTTO's retail media business and was Head of Agency for Amazon (2015–2020).
Regional leadership change at a fast-growing European ecommerce and retail-media-focused agency; relevant to brands, agencies and retail media stakeholders but not industry-shifting.
