Jared Bluestein

"Hoover Treated Wood Products, USA Wood is the number one building material in the USA. The company, founded in 1955 and based in Georgia, is one of the largest wood suppliers in the world. When it ran into trouble, Berggruen set it straight again. The company's uniqueness: It is led by the same professional who also chairs the supervisory board of Karstadt: Jared Bluestein from New York."

"THE JARED BLUESTEIN FILE A special place in German economic history is already secured for him: the first professional poker player to sit on the supervisory board of a traditional German company. In the hierarchy of Berggruen Holdings, Jared Bluestein occupies a key position. He is listed as the chief operation officer on the homepage, responsible for "buyout activities, investment sourcing, portfolio oversight and firm administration". Literally, buy-out means "buy-out", which hits the nail on the head: a company is financially leveraged by another by first acquiring individual business parts, thereby gaining control over the entire company later. Bluestein's competencies also include investment acquisition, controlling, administration – in the case of Karstadt, this also includes the position of supervisory board chairman."

"He left all the negotiations to tie up the takeover package to his business partner Jared Bluestein. A man who is said to be: When others' blood boils, his drops to icy temperatures."
