Four board members are leaving the group, the supervisory board is reshuffling departments and eliminating one position entirely. The goal: The management team should become a team.
PA major blow at Deutsche Lufthansa: four out of six board members are leaving the group almost at the same time. Only the chairman of the board, Carsten Spohr, and the previous head of human resources, Michael Niggemann, remain. The supervisory board is restructuring the management body to a historic extent, reshuffling departments, and the corporate management team is being reduced from six to five people.
The official explanation for the major restructuring is that after the pandemic crisis has been overcome, the “next phase of corporate development” begins. The board now wants more focus on innovations and strategic developments instead of on everyday business. Because the challenges remained great. “We want to approach it with new momentum and a changed team that combines even more international experience and diverse perspectives,” the chairman of the supervisory board, Karl-Ludwig Kley, is quoted as saying.
