Jürg Stuker becomes new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Wirz Group
At the Annual General Meeting of Wirz Partner Holding on Thursday, Jürg Stuker was elected to succeed Andreas Schmid as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the communications group. As announced, Geri Aebi is also leaving the Board of Directors at the same time as Schmid.
Jürg Stuker was a partner and held executive positions at Namics for over 20 years until the end of 2020. In parallel, he was involved operationally and as an angel investor in a number of Swiss start-up companies.
Due to his background, Stuker has a great deal of technical knowledge as well as many years of experience in the field of digitalization and communication. He is delighted to be joining the re-elected Ines Pöschel and Florian Teuteberg in forming a committed Board of Directors and actively supporting the Group: "For me, being able to continue such a successful history is both an honor and a challenging task. I look forward to meeting exciting people, having the opportunity to take bold steps, and being creative in the service of customer success."
Schmied and Aebi farewell
Andreas Schmid, who left the company yesterday, had been a member of the Board of Directors since 2010 and led it as Chairman for the last four years. As an entrepreneurial personality and with his large network in business and politics, he had a significant impact on the successful development of the Wirz Group, writes Wirz in a statement.
At the same time, Geri Aebi, who has been a member of the Board of Directors for many years and Vice Chairman since 2016, also retired from the Board on Thursday. In his well-earned retirement, the former CEO of Wirz Communications and the Wirz Group, respectively, will devote himself to all his other offices and social commitments as planned and will remain associated with Wirz as a shareholder.
