Head of Lenzerheide Bergbahnen leaves
Peter Engler, CEO of Lenzerheide Bergbahnen, has resigned and will leave the company at the end of April 2021. The reason for his departure is a career opportunity in local politics in Davos.
The 58-year-old Engler is running for mayor of Davos. Provided he is elected in the second round of voting on November 29, he would have to take up political office on January 1, 2021. Engler's resignation is therefore "a logical consequence", announced Bergbahnen Lenzerheide on Wednesday.
The FDP politician can hope to win the election, especially as the middle-class ranks have closed for the second round of voting. He came second in the first round, just behind the SP candidate Philipp Wilhelm.
Engler worked at Lenzerheide Bergbahnen for a total of eight years. He spent the first three years as Deputy CEO and the last five years as CEO. The mountain railroads intend to advertise the position publicly in the next few days to fill the vacancy. (SDA)
