CEO Marco Salzgeber is leaving Klinik Gut AG. Until a successor is found, long-time hospital manager Urs Baumberger will take over hospital management. He will start working in May.
Marco Salzgeber has decided to leave Klinik Gut for personal reasons. He will hand over his office to Urs Baumberger in May 2024. Business economist Marco Salzgeber has been CEO of Klinik Gut AG since September 2022. His term of office included the construction and opening of Klinik Gut im Kurpark in St. Moritz-Bad. In doing so, he made a decisive contribution to the success of the project. Management and Board of Directors would like to thank him for what he has done and wish him every success in his future professional and private career.
In order to seamlessly bridge the transition to the election of a new CEO, Urs Baumberger, a very experienced leader in the healthcare sector, has been hired, who will take on the role of interim CEO during the transition period. Baumberger was director of Nidwalden Hospital for many years. He has been a management consultant since 2022 and has managed Hirslanden Klinik Birshof and Rehabilitation Clinic Seewis ad interim.
With it, the transition is designed entirely in the interests of patients, doctors and all employees. Management and Board of Directors are confident that they will find a suitable successor for the CEO position within the coming months in order to successfully continue to pursue the medical, strategic and economic goals of Klinik Gut. The position has been advertised and the application process is ongoing.
