New Leadership at the Paritarian Confederation

Joachim Rock is set to take over as the CEO of the Paritarian Confederation starting August 1, replacing the current incumbent. This change marks a new chapter for the significant organization in Germany's social policy landscape.

Meanwhile, Katja Kipping, a well-known figure in German politics, is set to join the Paritarian Confederation as its Managing Director and Head of the Social Policy Department starting September 1. Kipping, who has extensive political experience, particularly in social policy, will bring her expertise to the organization.

Katja Kipping's political career began in 2012 when she served as co-chair of the Left Party, a role she shared with Bernd Riexinger. This tenure lasted until 2021. After leaving the co-chair position, Kipping did not hold any other political positions until her appointment at the Paritarian Confederation.

Katja Kipping's most recent political role was as Berlin's Social Senator, a position she held until April 2023. This marked her return to politics after leaving the co-chair position of the Left Party. Before her stint as Berlin's Social Senator, Kipping did not hold any other political positions after leaving the co-chair position of the Left Party.

Katja Kipping's appointment at the Paritarian Confederation signifies a move away from direct political office. The 46-year-old politician's extensive political experience, particularly in social policy, will likely contribute significantly to her new role at the Paritarian Confederation.

On the other hand, Joachim Rock is stepping into the CEO role of the Paritarian Confederation with fresh eyes. His appointment will mark a new beginning for the organization. The previous Managing Director and Head of the Social Policy Department of the Paritarian Confederation started before September 1.

These changes are expected to bring new perspectives and ideas to the Paritarian Confederation, further strengthening its position in Germany's social policy landscape.
