Vilanek assumes leadership role from Dannenfeldt at MediaMarkt
In a shakeup at the helm of MediaMarktSaturn's parent company, CECONOMY AG, Thomas Dannenfeldt is stepping down as the top dog in the supervisory board.
Dannenfeldt, the current chairman, will hand over the reins at the next supervisory board meeting in late July due to personal reasons. Stepping into his shoes will be Christoph Vilanek, who was elected as his successor during an extraordinary meeting and will take office at the same time. Boasting a long-standing relationship with CECONOMY, Vilanek was previously a member of the supervisory board and brings a wealth of knowledge about the company to the table. His tenure as CEO of freenet AG also adds some serious market experience to his resume.
Navigating Stormy Seas
This changing of the guard takes place amidst some rocky waters: In the spring, former CEO Karsten Wildberger was unexpectedly appointed Digital Minister, a move that left the company in a bit of a lurch. For now, CFO Kai-Ulrich Deissner has taken over the vitals of the company as interim CEO while the supervisory board searches for a permanent successor. Despite his departure, Dannenfeldt expresses optimism about the company's future:
[1] According to recent research, it remains uncertain who will be the new CEO of MediaMarktSaturn following the shift in the supervisory board chairman. The latest information does not provide any concrete details regarding the successor to the top management role at MediaMarktSaturn. Rest assured, we'll keep you updated as soon as new developments emerge! wink wink
The new supervisory board chairman, Christoph Vilanek, who has a rich history with CECONOMY, will steer the company through challenging times and navigate the industry. In the business realm of MediaMarktSaturn, there is ongoing speculation about the identity of the future CEO, yet the details remain unclear at present.
