Lindt & Sprüngli: Dr Dieter Weisskopf will hand over CEO position to Dr Adalbert Lechner on October 1, 2022

Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG announces the date of the CEO change. As already communicated in March 2022, Dr Dieter Weisskopf is handing over his position as Group CEO to Dr Adalbert Lechner. The handover will take place on 1 October, 2022.
 

After a successful 27-year career in the Group Management of Lindt & Sprüngli – including six years as Group CEO – Weisskopf has decided to step down from his position. He was elected to the Board of Directors at the 124th Annual General Meeting on 28 April, 2022, and will thus continue to contribute his many years of experience to the Group. Lechner, longstanding CEO of the German subsidiary and member of the Group Management, joined the Lindt & Sprüngli Group in 1993.
Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG appoints Daniel Studer as member of the Group Management as of 1 September, 2022. Studer started his career 19 years ago at the Lindt & Sprüngli Switzerland subsidiary, where he held various leadership roles in sales, followed by the position of Head of International Sales at the Group’s headquarters. In 2009, he was appointed to Country Manager of Lindt & Sprüngli Mexico. Two years later, he transferred to the USA, where he was first appointed VP Sales and then CEO of Lindt & Sprüngli USA in 2016.
