Look
At Coop there is a change at the top. The board of directors of the retail giant and competitor of Migros appoints Philipp Wyss (54) chairman of the executive board.
The skilled butcher and businessman has been at the top of Coop for a long time. Most recently, he played an important role as vice president of the board of directors and head of the marketing department. It has been with the retailer since 1997.
Wyss will assume the position of director from May 2021. His successor will be Andrea Kramer (50), who is currently in charge of management and purchasing, as well as basic food and cleaning.
Sutter becomes president
There is also castling in the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors. There are no new faces here either. Former Coop boss Joos Sutter (56) will replace Hansueli Loosli (65) in the spring. Sutter had run the company since 2011 and had been a member of the executive board since 2008.
The change will take place after the delegates meeting next spring. Loosli’s departure from the committee was already known on this date.
Doris Leuthard rises
The vice position is still female. Former Federal Councilor Doris Leuthard (57) takes office. Previously, he was a member of the Board of Directors of Coop. Follow Irene Kaufmann. After twenty years on the Coop Group Board of Directors, he will step down next spring. At the same time, Peter Eisenhut, Roman Kuhn and Hans Jürg Käser will be retiring for reasons of age.
New appointments have also been nominated for these outings. Grégoire Ribordy (CEO ID Quantique), Michael Fuhrer (CFO Hänseler AG), Karim Twerenbold (CEO and VRP Twerenbold Group) and, as a staff representative, Markus Beer (Head of Coop’s Bakery Department), as they say, will take a seat. . (vnf)
