Management Shortly before the editorial deadline, Ringier announced that the management had parted company with its new man at the helm of Ringier Switzerland. Thomas Landolt, who swapped his job as former General Manager of Ringier Romania in Bucharest with the Zurich management at the beginning of the year, also took up his new position as Head of Publishing Ringier Switzerland in the new structure that the internationally active publishing house had adopted at the turn of the year. The official reason given for Landolt's resignation was a difference of opinion regarding the management of the company, with the current head of Ringier Romand, Daniel Pillard, taking over his job on an interim basis for a period of one year.
With Pillard's appointment, the publishing house is simultaneously streamlining Ringier Switzerland. Pillard is now responsible for the French-speaking part of Switzerland, newspapers and magazines at the same time. Group spokesman Marco Castellaneta explains the reason for Landolt's departure: "It was about the way in which the publishing house is to be positioned and further developed in Switzerland." It is conceivable that the Romania fighter has stirred up too much dust in the boardroom. (rw)
