Martin Hofer leaves Wüest Partner
Upon reaching the age of 62, co-founder Martin Hofer has decided to leave Wüest Partner AG at the end of 2017.
Martin Hofer (MA ETH, MAS UZH Applied Ethics) looks back on more than 28 years with Wüest Partner. After working for two years at the predecessor company Wüest & Gabathuler (founded in 1985), he, together with Hannes Wüest and Markus Schweizer, founded Wüest & Partner in 1992 and "drove its development with passion," according to a media release.
As an "unconventional thinker", he had not only made a significant contribution to countless projects, but also to the company over many years. In addition to his work in the business area of real estate development, where he also brought unconventional projects to success, for example the "Noerd" in Oerlikon, he was a member of the Executive Board and the Board of Directors for many years and Chairman of the Board from 2012 to 2015.
Martin Hofer will remain on friendly terms with the partner group and the company and will continue to contribute his expertise to individual customer projects in the coming year, the statement continues. From the beginning of 2018, the customers who have mainly worked with Hofer's team up to now will be looked after by his co-partners Marcel Scherrer and Stefan Meier. Hofer will turn to new tasks and projects as an expert to a limited extent, Wüest Partner adds.
