Mister Spex SE, one of Germany’s leading optical retailers, has announced the appointment of Benjamin Schenck as its new Chief Financial Officer and member of the management board, effective November 1, 2025.
Schenck brings more than 15 years of financial leadership experience across digital-first businesses, retail environments, and media companies. Most recently, he served as CFO at Outfittery, where he successfully steered the organisation through its merger with Lookiero and supported its scaled direct-to-consumer footprint. Prior to that, he held key finance roles at ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, contributing significantly to strategic transactions, digital business expansion, and long-term investment decisions.
Schenck succeeds Stephan Schulz-Gohritz, who departs the company by mutual agreement.
Recognised as one of the most prominent optical omni-channel players in Europe, Mister Spex today serves over 8 million customers, powered by a strong digital commerce backbone, four online shops across Europe, and a rapidly expanding physical network of 65 owned retail stores across Germany — giving it one of the most modern and scalable distribution models in the category.
Schenck’s mandate aligns directly with that model — setting up the company financially for the next phase of profitable, data-driven growth.
