The management of Basler Zeitung Medien (BZM) has dismissed Stephan Gugelmann, head of human resources, and Christian Gysin, head of printing. On Monday, December 1, 2008, the two members of management were dismissed with immediate effect, according to Online Reports. BZM spokesman Walter Schäfer cited "differing views on the strategic direction" as the reason.
Stephan Gugelmann took over from Beat Bucher, then Head of HR, on July 1, 2006 and has been in charge of HR for the entire Group since then. The 40-year-old was previously with Ringier. He will be succeeded by Claudia Wahlen, previously Head of HR at Birkhäuser + GBC in Reinach. The 34-year-old Christian Gysin has been technical manager of the printing center since May 1, 2007.
The dual management at the top of the BaZ printing center, which was introduced a year and a half ago, will be abolished. Felix Bitterli, previously responsible for marketing and sales, will once again be the sole head of the printing center, replacing Gysin in this role.
