Zühlke announces leadership transition
Zühlke’s Group CEO, Fabrizio Ferrandina, who planned to stay in the role until the end of 2026, steps down from his position at the end of September 2025 due to personal reasons. The formal executive search process for a suitable successor has been initiated, and the Group aims to have a new Group CEO in place by mid-2026.
In the interim, the Chairman, Philipp Sutter, in addition to his role, steps in as Group CEO to ensure stability and strategic guidance until a permanent successor is appointed and in place.
I am pleased that Philipp Sutter is ready to step in during this important time, providing continuity as we advance our transition into a trusted partner for technology-driven transformation.

Philipp Sutter, Chairman of the Board
