Executive head hunters are back at work to find a new head of Geneva Airport after only eight months.
Gilles Rufenacht took over in October. He came from the health sector where he was a senior manager for the Hirslanden Clinic Group.
He’s to return to the company as general manager.
The chairman of the airport, Christian Lüscher, says he clearly received an offer he couldn’t refuse and stresses the reforms Rufenacht started will continue.
But for now, the hunt for a replacement re-starts.
