Ringier: Successor found for CFO Hügli
Ringier is adding a new member to its top management team: Tobias Schulz-Isenbeck will join the Group Executive Board, led by CEO Christian Unger, as the new Chief Financial Officer effective September 1, 2011. He succeeds Samuel Hügli, who is stepping down as CFO.
Since 2006, Tobias Schulz-Isenbeck has been managing director of the Handelsblatt Publishing Group and since 2008 spokesman of the management board, responsible for consumer media and as CFO. In this function, the now 43-year-old was involved in the turnaround of the Handelsblatt Group after the financial crisis. Prior to that, he held various management positions at the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group for ten years. He has also been an honorary member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e. V. and a member of the Board of the Deutsche Welthungerhilfe Foundation since 2004. With a doctorate in economics, he will start work at Ringier on September 1, 2011, moving into his office at the Group headquarters in Zurich.
As Ringier already announced in March, the previous CFO Samuel Hügli Hügli will leave the Ringier Group Executive Board at his own request at the end of August 2011 after four years as Chief Financial Officer of the Ringier Group. Hügli will continue to be available to Ringier as an advisor and will hold various board mandates at Ringier companies.
