Implenia announces management change
A comprehensive leadership change at Implenia marks a significant milestone. With a new CEO and further leadership adjustments, the company is positioning itself for the future. Implenia continues to focus on sustainable growth.
Implenia, the leading Swiss construction and real estate services provider, will have a new CEO at the helm in spring 2025. André Wyss, who has led the company through a far-reaching transformation since October 2018, has decided to step back from operational activities. Wyss explains: “After six and a half years at Implenia, it’s time for me to focus on existing and new mandates. Implenia is in an excellent position following the transformation and is ready for the next strategic phase.” The successful handover to Jens Vollmar, who has played a key role in shaping the company’s development, is an important step for Wyss.
Hans Ulrich Meister, Chairman of Implenia’s Board of Directors, praised Wyss’ achievements: “With far-sighted and courageous action, he has shaped Implenia into a financially sound, integrated multinational construction and real estate services provider.” The company is now optimally positioned to continue to grow profitably in the long term.
Jens Vollmar to take over from April 2025
The Board of Directors has appointed Jens Vollmar, currently Head Division Buildings, as the new CEO. Vollmar has been with Implenia since 2013 and has made a decisive contribution to the company’s positive development through his role in the Buildings Division and as Country President Switzerland. Meister is convinced that Vollmar will successfully lead the Group into the future with his expertise.
Vollmar’s successor as Head Division Buildings will be announced at a later date.
Change in the Civil Engineering division
In addition to the change in CEO, there will also be a new appointment in the Civil Engineering division. Christian Späth, who has successfully led this division through challenging times, will leave the company at the end of August 2024. Erwin Scherer, previously Global Head Tunnelling, will take over the management of the division from September. Scherer, who has been responsible for tunnel construction at Implenia since 2019, is a proven leader with extensive experience in international tunnel construction. Wyss and the management team are convinced that Scherer will continue to lead the division successfully and make an excellent addition to Implenia’s Executive Committee.
This comprehensive change of leadership marks an important milestone in Implenia’s future development and sets the course for the continuation of its successful growth trajectory.
