About this episode
In treasury, it helps to have a solid grasp of every aspect of finance.
That’s why this week’s guest on The Treasury Career Corner made it his mission to learn multiple treasury languages. Kai Bremer, Director of Treasury at AUTODOC, joins the podcast to discuss his route into the industry, his part in the growth of Aldi’s treasury function and why knowledge and understanding are key to success.

Kai spent six years with Aldi, building the treasury department before moving to an Executive Director role at Mount Street Group and becoming Senior Manager at EY.
In 2019, he joined MAX Automation SE as Head of Treasury and has now been Director of Treasury at AUTODOC since 2022.
Kai studied Business Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University.
