New management team takes over Schärer - Andreas Schärer takes time out
Shady Ashong, a member of the Executive Board, and Simon Schleuniger, a member of the Extended Executive Board, are taking over management of the Schärer agency in Baden effective immediately. After 30 years in the workforce—19 of them at Schärer—Andreas Schärer is taking a four-month leave of absence effective immediately, through November 1, 2018.
During this time, the agency will also be supported by interim manager Cuno Singer. The 50-year-old has extensive experience in the areas of finance, sales, processes and management from various professional backgrounds. Most recently, he spent over ten years at Dyson Switzerland as Managing Director and most recently as European Trading Director.
"Cuno Singer's extensive experience is very valuable to us. Together with his first-class network, he will be able to provide us with excellent support in this important phase," says 42-year-old Executive Board member Shady Ashong.
Andreas Schärer on the background to his decision to take time out: "All the signs and my intuition tell me very clearly that this break is right and important now. I'm allowing myself this time out from the hectic pace of everyday life and the daily pressure to calm down and think clearly. My colleagues will lead the company and continue to develop it together with the great team - I have the utmost confidence in them."
The communications industry - like the entire working world - is undergoing major change. New models and work philosophies are in demand. The Schärer agency is in the midst of this transformation process to become an innovative company that works with modern network structures based on the self-empowerment of each team member.
