Mario Grubenmann is leaving Wüest Partner. He has worked for the company since 2002, most recently as Group CFO and Partner. "After his departure, he will use the time he has gained to realize private projects and take on new professional challenges," the company writes in a press release. He has "made a significant contribution to the company's progress" in various functions. Grubenmann himself says: "Wüest Partner was like a home to me and I will remain associated with the company".
Rico Müller took over the role of Group CFO on May 1, succeeding Mario Grubenmann on the Group Executive Board. He joined Wüest Partner on February 1 as part of his induction. Müller was Head of Corporate Services North America and Director Group Controlling at Aebi Schmidt and later CFO at Hiag. He took up this position in April 2021 and left the Basel-based company in September 2022. Most recently, he acted as CFO and financial expert for various companies in an independent capacity. "In Rico, we have been able to recruit an internationally experienced specialist for the position of Group CFO," says Patrik Schmid, Group CEO. "Thanks to his experience in the real estate market, in partner-managed companies and his digital affinity, he meets our requirements perfectly." (aw)
