Munich / Hamburg, 3 September 2024 – Liberta Partners, a Munich-based multi-family holding, has acquired CBW- College Berufliche Weiterbildung GmbH from founder and managing director Fahima Wieghard as part of a succession solution. As part of the acquisition, Mrs Wieghard’s daughter Naheed Priehn has been appointed as the new Managing Director. Mrs Priehn has been with the company for 16 years and was most recently responsible for the operational management of the company as division manager. Mrs Priehn has acquired a stake in the company as part of the transaction, thus sending a strong signal for the joint growth plans.

Fahima Wieghard says: ‘After 20 years, the time has come for me to place the company in new hands. I am delighted that we have found a responsible owner in Liberta Partners, who will provide my daughter with the best possible support in the further development of CBW.’
Naheed Priehn, Managing Director of CBW, says: ‘I am looking forward to working with Liberta Partners. The labour market is in the midst of structural change. We want to accompany this change with our offer and enable people to benefit from digitalisation and give them new opportunities in the labour market.’
