Chief Financial Officer Lukas Leuenberger leaves Goldbach after more than ten years

Lukas Leuenberger joined the Goldbach Group in 2007 and initially held the position of Deputy CFO. In the first few years, which Lukas Leuenberger helped to shape, Goldbach expanded into the markets of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe shortly after its IPO. Lukas Leuenberger was responsible for the financial matters of numerous new subsidiaries and their integration into the Goldbach Group. Following his election as CFO in 2013 and the change of CEO, Lukas Leuenberger took over responsibility for the financial management of the successful refocusing on the DACH markets. In recent years, Lukas Leuenberger has also represented the Executive Committee (ExCo) on several boards of the Goldbach Group and made a significant contribution to the merger of Goldbach with the Tamedia media group this year.

"They were exciting years," Lukas Leuenberger comments on his time at Goldbach in a press release, "during which I learned a lot and was able to make a difference. I am particularly grateful to my team, who have always given me great support. It is not easy for me to say goodbye."

Michi Frank, CEO of the Goldbach Group, adds: "I very much regret Lukas Leuenberger's departure. I greatly appreciated his expertise, his objective and results-oriented approach and the way he supported us all at ExCo and beyond. He has made a decisive contribution to the success of our strategy of concentration and the fact that we have been able to report positive results year after year. I wish him all the best for the future, both professionally and personally."

The structure of the finance department following the departure of Lukas Leuenberger will be determined at a later date.
