German property management platform accelerates growth plans

Property management platform Apaleo has announced two appointments to its leadership team as it outlines its next phase of international growth.

The company has appointed Leonie Häsler as director of people and culture, and Andre Klan as chief financial officer (CFO).

joins from Moonfare, where she helped scale the organisation during a period of rapid international growth, building foundations for talent development, organisational structure and employee engagement. She has worked across the Fintech, SaaS and hospitality sectors, including at Soho House and Meininger Hotels.

At Apaleo, Häsler will focus on enabling sustainable company growth through scalable people and culture practices.

Andre Klan joins with experience in financial and operational leadership across SaaS and software scaleups. He was most recently head of finance at cloud-ERP provider Xentral.

At Apaleo, Klan will oversee finance, controlling and investor relations, with a mandate to strengthen the financial foundation for sustainable global growth.

Apaleo’s latest appointments follow the launch of two major platform innovations in 2025: the Agent Hub, the hospitality industry’s first AI agent marketplace, and the MCP Server, a solution that enables AI agents to instantly integrate with other tools and systems without a single line of code.

The open and API-first property management platform raised €20 million in a funding round in late 2024. Its 2026 plans include further growth in DACH, expansion across the UK and France, as well as attracting top talent. The company recently opened a new headquarters in central Munich.

Chief executive and founder Uli Pillau said: “Leonie and Andre bring exactly the kind of high-calibre experience and energy we need for this next stage of growth.

“Their backgrounds in SaaS and hospitality give us a powerful edge as we build the next generation of tools for the global hospitality industry. With both of them on board, we’re in a strong position to scale and continue pushing the boundaries of what a property management platform can do.”
