Patrik Stillhart holds a master's of science degree in civil engineering (with majors in building design and construction site management) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (ETH), graduated from a postgraduate programme where he earned a degree as a real estate economist (EBS) and successfully completed the executive programme offered by HEC Paris and JLL with a focus on innovation management, business strategies and leadership.
"Our search brought us to Patrik Stillhart, who is the perfect person to guide the successful further development of Zug Estates," explains Beat Schwab, Chairman of the board of directors. "What sets him apart are his strategic skills, his business track record and his excellent knowledge of the Swiss real estate market."
The board of directors would like to take this opportunity to thank Tobias Achermann for his many years of commitment to and successful leadership of the Zug Estates Group. He will remain in office until 8 May 2020, after which CFO Mirko Käppeli will take over as CEO on an interim basis until Patrik Stillhart's arrival.
