Ringier Germany with new Managing Director
Ringier has appointed a new managing director for its publishing business in Germany. Rudolf Spindler will take over the position in May 2011.
Spindler was Managing Director of the Süddeutsche Zeitung magazine for ten years. He only joined Süddeutsche Zeitung in June of this year as head of the Magazine, Product Development and Marketing department. Spindler's predecessor Martin Paff had worked for Ringier since 2003 and was involved in the development of the political magazine Cicero and the art magazine Monopol, as Ringier announced on Wednesday. Paff wants to devote himself to new tasks. However, Ringier added that the publishing house would be delighted if Paff decided to continue working for the Group.
