Goldbach Media management to be expanded by two members

Lorenzo Leutenegger has been with Goldbach Media for over 10 years and has held various positions there. He has held the position of Director Strategic Sales for seven months and is already a member of the extended Executive Board. He brings with him several years of experience in the field of sales. Overall responsibility for Sales remains with existing Executive Board member and Sales Director Gabriel Blume.

In addition to Lorenzo Leutenegger, Roger Heis, Commercial Director, will also be a new member of Goldbach Media's Executive Board as of January 2019. He has been responsible for Accounting and Taxes and Deputy CFO of Goldbach Group since March 2013. In his new role, he will represent the responsibility for Finance, IT and Human Resources of Goldbach Media. "With Roger Heis and Lorenzo Leutenegger, two experienced personalities and long-standing Goldbach employees are taking their place on our Executive Board. I am delighted that we have been able to recruit them both for these positions," says Alexander Duphorn, CEO of Goldbach Media.

Fredy Grau, who has been with Goldbach Media for 18 years, is gradually withdrawing from operational business until his retirement in 2020. He already handed over his position as Deputy CEO of Goldbach Media to Tobias Fehrlin in March 2018 and has since been acting as Strategic Advisor to the Executive Board. From January 2019, he will perform this function in a reduced workload.

The Executive Board of Goldbach Media will be composed as follows as of January 2019:

• Alexander Duphorn, CEO
• Tobias Fehrlin, Director Product Development / Deputy CEO
• Gabriel Blume, Sales Director
• Guido Trevisan, Marketing Director
