Wirz Werbung: Thomas Städeli becomes new CEO
New distribution of responsibilities at Wirz: Thomas Städeli will succeed Geri Aebi as CEO of Wirz Werbung in the middle of the year. As CEO of the Wirz Group, Aebi will be responsible for the overall management of the communications group.
As Aebi's successor as CEO of Wirz Werbung, Städeli will also become a member of the Wirz Group Executive Board, which includes the managing directors of Wirz Werbung, Wirz Corporate, Assai Dialog+Digital and Wirz Services, as of July 1, 2010.
After five successful years as Managing Director, Städeli has more than earned this promotion with his committed and winning manner as well as his professional and personal qualities, according to a press release from Wirz Werbung. Together with Petra Dreyfus (Client Service Director) and Philipp Skrabal (Executive Creative Director), he will form a young, strong management trio for the well-positioned advertising agency.
As CEO of the Wirz Group, Geri Aebi will increasingly focus on cross-company and cross-discipline tasks and projects, the statement continues. He will also remain involved with advertising and individual clients. In the eight years under Aebi's leadership, Wirz Werbung has not only achieved the necessary financial turnaround very quickly, but has also made a comeback in terms of its image and business with a greatly renewed team.
