Bastei Lübbe AG - Felix Rudloff leaves Management Board and assists company
in new role as of next year
Cologne, 07 December 2015. At the turn of the year, Felix Rudloff (44) will
resign from his position as Member of the Management Board at Bastei Lübbe
AG. Rudloff, who is in charge of the Programme and Press departments as
Member of the Management Board at Bastei Lübbe AG, will step down from his
position for personal reasons. At the same time, he will continue to assist
the company in the long term and support the Programme division as an agent
and consultant with his expertise and network. A service agreement to this
effect has already been signed between Felix Rudloff and Bastei Lübbe AG.
In January 2012, Rudloff joined the Cologne-based publishing house to work
as a publisher for Eichborn Verlag. In the same year, he was appointed to
the management team. When the company went public in October 2013, he
became a member of the Management Board. At the turn of the year, Felix
Rudloff will vacate his position on the Management Board for personal
reasons and work as an agent and consultant on a freelance basis. He will
continue to assist Bastei Lübbe AG in his new role, for which a service
agreement has been concluded for the years to come.
Bastei Lübbe CEO Thomas Schierack made the following comment: "I completely
understand Felix Rudloff's wish to have a new position. At the same time, I
am pleased that he will continue to assist us with his excellent expertise
and that we have also found a common working basis for the future. Felix
Rudloff knows the company and its domestic and international ambitions in
every detail. He has also helped us develop and bring forward our
pioneering concepts. Therefore, he is capable of giving extremely competent
advice from a business perspective. We also believe that this continued
collaboration is important and desirable from an interpersonal
perspective."
As of now, the Programme and Press departments will report to Klaus Kluge,
Member of the Management Board already in charge of these areas from 2009
to 2012.
