Lidl appoints new real estate manager for Switzerland
After more than four years, Reto Ruch is handing over the position to Tobias Eggli, who was previously responsible for real estate in the eastern region for Lidl.
Tobias Eggli, previously Head of Real Estate Region East at Lidl Switzerland, will take over the position of Chief Real Estate Officer at Lidl Switzerland on June 1. Reto Ruch, who previously held the position of CREO, is leaving the chain store chain. He has decided to "find a challenge outside the company", the German food discounter writes in a press release.
Ruch has been responsible for the "Central Divisions" department as Chief Real Estate Officer for the last 4.5 years and was previously Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Lidl Switzerland. "We regret Reto Ruch's decision and would like to express our sincere thanks for his successful commitment and dedication to Lidl Switzerland," writes the company. He played a key role in shaping the retailer's Swiss subsidiary for around 20 years and was jointly responsible for its development.
Ruch's successor Eggli (42) has been with Lidl Switzerland for over 15 years. He has headed the Real Estate Office East since 2014 and previously worked in other positions in the real estate sector. (aw)
