After four years at the helm of ProSiebenSat.1, CEO Guillaume de Posch announced in the middle of this year that he would be stepping down at the end of the year. His contract would have run until 2010.
Before joining the Basel-based pharmaceutical company Novartis in 1997, the designated CEO Ebeling worked for the beverage company Pepsi and the tobacco company Reemtsma.
In October, the psychology graduate announced his intention to leave Novartis, where he had long been seen as a potential successor to CEO Daniel Vasella. Ebeling was head of Pharmaceuticals until fall 2007, but was then "demoted" to head of the four times smaller Consumer Health Division due to struggling business.
