SWITZERLAND. Inflight services specialist gategroup has announced changes to its Executive Management Board (EMB).
After ten years with the group, Jann Fisch (well known in travel retail from his time with The Nuance Group) has stepped down from the board to take on a new role outside of the airline catering industry.
Fisch’s diverse career spans over three decades and includes the airline, airport, retail and service sectors.
He joined gategroup in June 2013 as Group Senior Vice President and President Europe and Africa. He was named Chief Corporate Development Officer in September 2014 and was appointed President of Asia Pacific in June 2015.
He previously served as Nuance CEO for Australia and New Zealand.
gategroup Chief Executive Officer Xavier Rossinyol commented: “As leader of APAC for the past five years, Jann has successfully enlarged our business and customer portfolio, expanding our footprint from eight to eleven countries to include Korea, Cambodia and Macau, and has developed a highly performing team who will successfully take over. We wish him continued success in his new endeavours.”
The gategroup EMB will be reduced from six to five members, with the APAC region led by Andreas Weber, President & MD APAC, reporting to Rossinyol.
