New management at B+L Publishing
Philipp Bitzer takes over the operational management of B+L Verlag in Schlieren ZH. The 48-year-old communications specialist has already held the newly created position of COO at the Limmattal-based trade magazine publisher since January 2015.
Now, as of the beginning of July 2016, he replaces the previous CEO Patrick Schmid, who is moving to ETH start-up Buildup as Managing Director. Bitzer had previously headed Hotellerie Gastronomie Verlag in Lucerne and Boll Verlag in Urdorf, Zurich, for several years. At both locations, he was largely responsible for repositioning the publishing business and developing new media products. He will continue to follow this line in the B+L Publishing House remain faithful.
