GERMANY. Gebr Heinemann has named Oliver Gottschling as Sales Director, Inflight & Catering, effective from 1 August. He replaces John Baumgartner who will leave to pursue interests outside travel retail from the end of July.
The company thanked Baumgartner for his five years of service, in which he “built up strong and reliable partnerships between Gebr Heinemann and our partners and customers”.
Gottschling has worked for the company for over ten years, including as Head of Category Management LTC for the past two. Before that he was Head of Sales in the Cruise & Ferries department and also worked as Head of Market Management/Retail.
Heinemann said it was confident that Gottschling would take forward the strong working cooperation between the Inflight & Catering team and the company’s partners.
With inflight retail hard hit last year, Gebr Heinemann’s Inflight & Catering sales division used the crisis to design a new home delivery project for its airline customers. Read more about this project in our recent eZine here.
