Théo Bouchat will take over the management of Edipresse Switzerland, Zbigniew Napierala will head the Edipresse Eastern Europe department and Michel Preiswerk will become the Edipresse Group's Chief Financial Officer. Tibère Adler, who previously headed Edipresse Switzerland, will be able to devote himself to the management of the entire Group from May. His current position will be taken over by Théo Bouchat. The 63-year-old Bouchat has been with Edipresse since 1998 and has headed the "Le Matin et Magazines" group since 2002. A search for a successor will begin immediately.
Edipresse has decided to create a new division responsible for all its activities in Eastern Europe (Russia, Poland and Ukraine). Named Edipresse Eastern Europe (EEE), this division will be modeled on the existing Edipresse Asia. From May, Zbigniew Napierala will take over the operational management of the combined activities of Edipresse Konliga (Russia), Edipresse Polska and Edipresse Ukraine. The 62-year-old will also be responsible for intensifying the exchange of know-how and content between the three countries. He will also be responsible for steering the future development of magazines and media in this region. Zbigniew Napierala has headed the publishing house that was to become Edipresse Polska since 1993.
Michael Preiswerk will become Chief Financial Officer of the Edipresse Group from July. The 37-year-old has been with Edipresse since October 2003. He previously worked for JP Morgan in New York. At Edipresse, Preiswerk was initially responsible for strategic projects, then became General Secretary and from 2006 he headed the "Acquisitions and Business Analysis" department. Preiswerk's predecessor, Christopher Bolton, has been with Edipresse since 1999, where he made a significant contribution to strengthening financial management and to the international development of Edipresse's activities. From summer 2007, Bolton will be putting his management skills and linguistic talents into a new professional and personal project.
Edipresse has a portfolio of over 150 titles and websites and employs 3,500 people. The Group, which is headquartered in Switzerland, is present in 15 countries.
