Management Changes at Tele München Group

MUNICH: Dr. Dirk Schweitzer is stepping down from his post at Tele München Group (TMG) for personal reasons at the end of the year, with his responsibilities to be taken over by Herbert L. Kloiber as managing director.

Kloiber Jr. will oversee licensing activities, international program sales, merchandising and home entertainment. His previous posts include developing international business opportunities at Bruno Wu’s Sun Media Investment Holding and overseeing strategic expansion and acquisitions at the Ondemand Group in London. Schweizer is stepping down on "amicable" terms with the company. Due to personal reasons he is relocating to Cologne from TMG’s current Munich base.

TMG chief Dr. Herbert Kloiber commented: "Regrettably I am losing Dr. Dirk Schweitzer after only 2 years of successful collaboration to his home town of Cologne. There is however no better point in time and finer moment in Tele München’s 42-year history to now call the well prepared next generation to the bridge."

Herbert L. Kloiber commented: “After many instructive years in the international media industry I am delighted to contribute my experience, specifically of the digital markets as a member of the senior management team in order to continue and influence TMG’s outstanding growth story going forward.”
