The construction industry faces major challenges: rising construction costs and a shortage of skilled workers clash with the urgent need for new housing. At the same time, the energy transition, the heating transition and the rapid pace of digitalisation offer new opportunities for a sustainable future. Messe Frankfurt has responded to these dynamic market developments with a new management team for its Building Technologies division.
Johannes Möller, previously responsible for Light + Building, has been appointed Group Show Director, Building Technologies Shows, with immediate effect. During the past four years, a very challenging period, he has successfully managed the world's leading trade fair for lighting and building technology, while expanding the international network. Since August 2024, he has been responsible for the management and strategic direction of the Light + Building, ISH and Intersec brands.
He continues to report to Iris Jeglitza-Moshage, Senior Vice President Technology. She has been responsible for this division for 14 years and is also a member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt. Thanks to Möller's promotion, she can now focus more on her managerial duties, while her years of expertise ensure continuity. "With this move, we have not only settled the succession for three of our most important brands early on, but also strengthened the leadership capacity needed for our Building Technologies Industry Cluster," explains Iris Jeglitza-Moshage. "We are delighted to have found an internal successor, especially as Johannes Möller has made an important contribution to the success of our international portfolio of building technology trade fairs in recent years. Now he can fully focus on the strategic growth of these brands, both in Germany and internationally."
Johannes Möller began his career in the trade fair industry as a graduate exhibition, conference and event manager in the sales department of Prolight + Sound. He then spent four years as personal assistant to the CEO of Messe Frankfurt, before taking on the role of Director of Brand Management and Development, Technology, in 2017. After successfully leading Light + Building, taking over overall responsibility for the Technology division is a logical next step in his career.
ISH will remain under the experienced leadership of Stefan Seitz. For 12 years, he and his team have planned and organised the world's leading trade fair for HVAC and water every two years. The management team of the Building Technologies Shows Group also includes Dominique Ewert, who is responsible for the company's marketing communication activities in the field of technical trade fairs.
From 1 October 2024, Steffen Larbig will be responsible for the development of Light + Building. Speaking about the new member of Messe Frankfurt's management team, Ms Jeglitza-Moshage says: "Mr Larbig brings extensive international sales expertise, experience in key account management and a wealth of ideas for the future direction of Light + Building." The next chapter in the successful development of this brand will be written in close cooperation with the experienced Light + Building team.
