Reto Steinmann new General Manager at Schneider Electric Switzerland
Reto Steinmann will take over as General Manager of Schneider Electric Switzerland on January 1, 2019.
In addition to his existing duties as Managing Director of Feller AG, he will also be responsible for the strategic and operational tasks of the energy specialist Schneider Electric in Switzerland. In both positions, he will report to Dr. Barbara Frei, CEO/Zone President DACH. "We are delighted to welcome Reto Steinmann, an experienced expert for the challenging tasks that are on the agenda with the Swiss Energy Reform 2050," says Dr. Frei. "We trust in his expertise and with him at the helm, we want to significantly develop our position as the leading provider in energy management and automation in Switzerland. In doing so, we will focus on customer and market needs arising from relevant megatrends such as digitalization, electrification and energy efficiency."
Steinmann has been with Feller and its parent company Schneider Electric for over 18 years. As COO of Feller AG and Vice President Retail, he has successfully expanded the market position of the Swiss building automation company since 2014 and driven the strategic orientation of product and solution developments towards digital transformation. He has extensive experience in leading integrated units, from product management and innovation to research and development, production and logistics through to front office marketing-sales-CCC.
Reto Steinmann succeeds Bernhard Kiechl, who took over as interim CEO following the departure of Simon Ryser in November and will take on new responsibilities at the Schneider Group in Vancouver from February 2019.
