Tamedia: New management of publishing logistics
Walter Lütolf, who has served as Head of Strategy and Organizational Development for Logistics at Tamedia since October 2014, will take over as Head of Publishing Logistics for the Swiss media group effective April 1, 2016.
In his new role, Walter Lütolf will be responsible in particular for central planning and the entire day-to-day business of publishing logistics at the three printing sites in Zurich, Bern and Bussigny. In addition, he will focus on upcoming issues relating to the strategic orientation of logistics. Walter Lütolf has many years of experience in the field of logistics, as Tamedia reported in a press release on Thursday. Before joining Tamedia, he had already worked in the media industry for 20 years.
The change in the management of publishing logistics is taking place as part of the succession plan for Charlie Fahim, who has headed the division since 2011 and will be taking ordinary retirement in mid-2017. During the transition phase, he will support Walter Lütolf in familiarizing himself with his new tasks. Charlie Fahim will also continue to oversee current and future projects in Tamedia's logistics and publishing services until his retirement. Both will continue to report to Andreas Schaffner, Head of Publishing Services and member of the Management Board of Tamedia.
