Quickline continues to focus on growth under new management
In recent years, Quickline has successfully developed from a regional to a nationwide telecommunications provider with award-winning products and has opened up a new business area with Quickline Energy. The Board of Directors has decided to realize the growth potential even more consistently together with the partners and has agreed with the CEO to do this under new management.
Quickline, based in Nidau, is a Swiss telecommunications provider that has successfully completed the strategically important step from regional to national player in recent years. In addition, Quickline Energy has opened up a new business segment. Today, the company reaches all Swiss households with its products. Last year, Quickline TV was recognized as the best TV product in Switzerland.
The Board of Directors has decided to drive this growth forward, to focus even more closely on the needs of customers and partners and to do so with a partially renewed management team. CEO Frédéric Goetschmann and CMO Urs von Ins will be leaving the company. Goetschmann joined Quickline in 2010 as CFO and Deputy CEO and took over as CEO in 2018. The successful conclusion of the 2018 - 2023 strategy period provides a suitable time to pass on the leadership.
Felix Kunz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Quickline: "With his valuable commitment, Frédéric Goetschmann has succeeded in making Quickline fit for the future and establishing it as a national player. Today, customers throughout Switzerland benefit from our products. I would like to thank Frédéric for this on behalf of the Board of Directors and wish him all the best for his professional and personal future."
Frédéric Goetschmann, outgoing CEO: "Quickline has reached an important milestone with its leap onto the national stage. With Quickline Energy, we have gained a foothold in the energy market. Together with the Board of Directors and the Quickline partners, my successor will help to shape further sustainable growth from the very beginning. I would like to thank all employees, customers and partners for their cooperation and wish the Quickline Group continued success."
The entrepreneur and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Quickline Felix Kunz will take over the operational management from January 2024 until the new CEO takes up his position, with Frédéric Goetschmann at his disposal to ensure a smooth transition. Sergio Giorgetta will become CMO ad interim with immediate effect. As Head of Market Management, he has played a key role in shaping the growth strategy and is considered solution-oriented and strong in implementation.
