New managing director at the procure.ch buyers' association
Andreas Kyburz will become the new Managing Director of the "procure.ch" professional association for purchasing and supply management as of June 1, 2017. He seamlessly takes over from Rolf Jaus, who is retiring after 15 years as Managing Director.
Andreas Kyburz is taking over the trade association in a unique position as its new managing director and is looking forward to his new role. His goal is to continue the well-functioning association in an orderly manner and to strengthen its attractiveness from the perspective of members and customers. Among other things, this means recognizing professional trends and their effects and integrating them into practice-oriented educational offers and member services.
After graduating as a business economist HWV in Olten, Andreas Kyburz worked for Möbel Pfister AG for twelve years, several years as a product manager, and most recently as Head of Logistics, Organization & IT. He then moved to the paper industry as Head of Purchasing and Logistics and was appointed Managing Director there in 2014.
Andreas Kyburz has been working his way in as designated Managing Director since November 2016. The handover of the baton will take place at the General Assembly on May 18, 2017 at the Hotel Bellevue in Bern. Officially, Kyburz will bear responsibility for the association's activities together with his team from June 1, 2017.
The human relationships that are elementary in the association network are close to his heart. "It is crucial for procure.ch to expand its thought leadership and pioneering role. We thrive on mutual exchange, and we want to gain more members who will contribute and thus secure the necessary edge for us."
