APG reduces the company management
APG has adjusted its management structure: The Executive Board was reduced from eight to six members as of September 1, 2014.
The adjustment is part of the focus on the core market of Switzerland and the activities in Serbia and the resulting adjustment of the international portfolio, APG wrote in a press release on Thursday. The Executive Board has been composed as follows since September 1, 2014: Markus Ehrle (CEO), Beat Hermann (CFO), Beat Holenstein (Partner & Product Management), Daniel Strobel (Advertising Market & Segment Companies), Christian Gotter (Logistics) and Marcel Seiler (Human Resources). Thomas Rainer, previously Head of International Markets, stepped down from the Executive Board on September 1, 2014.
Beat Hermann has assumed overall responsibility for international activities. Thomas Rainer continues to support the company on a part-time basis for ongoing processing tasks and for looking after the subsidiary Alma Quattro in Serbia. However, he will primarily devote himself as planned to his management duties in the Central Europe, Eastern Europe & Central Asia region at JCDecaux SA. The position of Head of Marketing & Business Development held by Markus Ehrle will not be replaced.
The seamless transition has been ensured since June 1, 2014 by distributing the areas of responsibility within the company management. Beat Holenstein has assumed responsibility for market research, product development and yield management, while Daniel Strobel is in charge of innovation projects. The Communications department and the tasks relating to business development remain the direct responsibility of Markus Ehrle.
