Emmi appoints new CEO

Ricarda Demarmels, chief financial officer of the Emmi Group, will succeed chief executive officer Urs Riedener on January 1, 2023.

After leading Emmi for 14 years, Riedener will be stepping down from his post at the end of the year. He was nominated by the board of directors as successor to Konrad Graber, chairman of the board, who will not be standing for election.

With these appointments, Emmi's board of directors is underlining its commitment to continuity in the management and direction of the company and its corporate culture.

Demarmels was previously CFO of Orior and held various management and consulting positions at investment and strategy consulting companies.

"I'm delighted to be able to drive forward the successful development of the Emmi Group in this role of responsibility, backed by a strong management team and over 9,000 passionate employees," Demarmels said.

"Emmi has a unique corporate culture and is on a very firm footing, both strategically and operationally," said Riedener. "In conjunction with this strong foundation, Ricarda Demarmels will also be able to fully leverage her skills and potential as a guarantor of Emmi's successful future development."
