Mammut CEO Exits

Mammut Sports Group CEO Rolf Schmid announced that he will leave the company as soon as his successor can be named. Mammut said Schmid will step down from both his positions as CEO and from the executive committee of its parent company, Conzzeta Group.

Schmid joined the Conzzeta Group 20 years ago as head of the sports division of what was then Arova Mammut AG. He took over as CEO of today’s Mammut Sports Group in 2000. Moving forward Schmid plans to offer his services as a business consultant in the areas management and strategic marketing and will also take up appointments to boards of directors.

“Rolf G. Schmid has helped establish Mammut as a strong and successful brand,” said Ernst Bärtschi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Conzzeta AG. “He has been behind spectacular marketing campaigns that have had a great impact in the industry and beyond. We are grateful that Rolf G. Schmid will stand by Mammut Sport Group during the transition and that he will continue to support the implementation of the agreed strategy in an advisory role. We wish him every success in his future career.”

Schmid reportedly will provide support during the transition and then continue to serve Conzzeta in a consultative capacity.
