Ralph Hermann becomes CEO of Heads

The succession at the Zurich agency Heads has been arranged at an early stage: Ralph Hermann will take over as CEO. Company founder and Managing Partner Mike Stillhard will become Chairman of the Board of Directors. However, he will remain with the agency operationally until at least 2011 and continue to look after clients. "I won't be cutting back just yet, but the course for the future should be set correctly at an early stage," he commented on the succession plan in a press release. The new CEO Ralph Hermann has been a Managing Partner at Heads for five years. He is also full of praise for the new arrangement: "It's good that Mike Stillhard will remain with us for quite some time in operational and strategic matters." He is looking forward to leading the team and wants to continue the positive agency development of recent years, says Hermann in the press release.
