Sascha Hilpert becomes Head of Business Development at Ringier
Sascha Hilpert is taking on new functions at Ringier: as the new Head of Business Development, Hilpert will also manage the "International Monetization Unit" at Group level. Juan Barón, who previously held this position, has decided to leave the company.
The Business Development division at Ringier is being restructured. The team, which previously reported directly to Alexander Theobald, COO Ringier Switzerland and Managing Director of the Blick Group, will be headed by Sascha Hilpert (35) with immediate effect. Sascha Hilpert holds a Master of Arts in Information, Media, and Technology Management from the University of St. Gallen and has worked for the Valora Group for several years, most recently as Head Business Development M&A at Valora Trade. Hilpert joined Ringier in fall 2016 as Project Manager in Business Development and will continue to report to Alexander Theobald.
In his new role, Sascha Hilpert will head the international team "International Monetization Unit" in personal union. This is one of three units that were established last year, each consisting of around ten Ringier experts from different countries and areas. Their primary task is to pool expertise and drive forward central initiatives within the Group.
Juan Barón, previously Head of International Monetization Unit, has decided to leave the company. Juan Barón worked for Ringier as Chief Digital Officer Blick Group between 2015 and 2017 and has since focused on strategic and Group-wide topics.
