After a long career in the Otto Group, Carole Walker, CEO Hermes Europe, will carry out a decision she took a long time ago and take early retirement in summer 2019. As of 01 March 2019, Kay Schiebur, Otto Group Executive Board Member Services, will assume some of her responsibilities, allowing Carole to reduce her working hours.
“Everyone who knows me is aware just how much Hermes means to me, and that the decision I took some time ago was by no means an easy one”, says Carole. “But I know that this is now the right step for me personally, to begin a new chapter in my life.”
“As a management team, in the new structure we will continue to drive forward the changes already launched”, emphasises Kay Schiebur. “I am very pleased that Carole will be able to help drive these key projects forward with all her experience and passion, and will actively support the reorganisation of the Hermes Group.”
