Ad hoc press release
Goldbach Group AG extends its management team:
Raoul Gerber becomes member of the management of Goldbach Group AG
Küsnacht-Zurich, November 24th, 2014. The Executive Committee of Goldbach
Group AG, the leading communications expert for the marketing of private
electronic, mobile and interactive media and online marketing in the DACH
region, Eastern Europe and the Adriatic region, has approved the
appointment of Raoul Gerber to the management team. Gerber will officially
assume his post as Chief Commercial Officer on the Executive Committee of
Goldbach Group AG as of 1 January 2015.
Raoul Gerber (51) is an established expert in the industry. After
completing his studies in literature and philosophy at the University of
Geneva, he joined RTN - one of the first private radio stations in
Switzerland - where he served as a radio host and then as an account
manager. He subsequently played a part in the commercialisation of the
first Swiss radio advertising block and in the launch of the local
television broadcaster Léman Bleu, before moving to Goldbach, where he held
various leadership positions within the Group from 2002 onwards. He served
as a member of the management at the company's subsidiary Goldbach Media
(Switzerland) AG for ten years as Head of Sales, before being appointed
Director Austria & Switzerland in 2014 as part of the extended management
of Goldbach Group AG. He will now join the Group management in his new role
as Chief Commercial Officer. The other members of the management, the
Executive Committee, at Goldbach Group AG are: Michi Frank, CEO, Lukas
Leuenberger, CFO, Klaus Nadler, CMO, and Roland Wittmann, CSO.
For Jens Alder, President of the Executive Committee of Goldbach Group AG,
this was both a strategic and logical decision: "We are clearly committed
to focussing on our core competency as a digital sales house. It therefore
made perfect sense to integrate the Chief Commercial Officer into the
management."
"Over the last twelve years, during which Raoul Gerber significantly shaped
the development of Goldbach Media as Head of Sales, he has continuously
shown himself to be a brilliant strategist and visionary. His personality
and many years of industry experience make him the ideal addition to the
current management team," said Michi Frank, CEO of Goldbach Group AG.
