Yvonne Richard promoted to head of marketing & sales at Kadi
Yvonne Richard has held various positions at Kadi, a manufacturer of refrigerated and frozen foods, since 2008. Effective January 1, 2018, she has assumed the position of Head of Marketing & Sales, a role within the company’s executive management team.
The 34-year-old native of Bern, who has a degree in economics and a part-time master's degree in business development, joined Kadi in 2008 as Junior Product Manager. She has been Head of Marketing since 2014. She is also project manager of the most important Swiss cooking competition "Golden Chef" and is responsible for corporate communications.
In order to ensure the further development of customer relationships and to be able to guarantee a contact person with many years of experience at all times, Yvonne Richard has strengthened her team by promoting Senior Key Account Manager Roger Huber to Head of KAM.
"The internal promotions are a particular pleasure for me, as they show that we promote and develop employees with special skills and abilities. This ensures continuity, which is important for our customers," commented CEO Christof Lehmann in a press release.
Yvonne Richard is a new member of the Executive Board. She replaces her predecessor Markus Müller, who left the company at the end of 2017 to take up a challenge outside the company.
Kadi manufactures chilled and frozen products and is based in Langenthal. The company employs 170 people, has a turnover of CHF 70 million and produces around 270 products that are used in over 10,000 restaurants in Switzerland every day.
