Armin Meier is to step down as managing director of InfrontRingier Sports & Entertainment Switzerland, the Infront Sports & Media agency’s 50-per-cent joint venture with Swiss media company Ringier.
Meier was appointed to lead the newly-founded agency in 2011 and has been an instrumental figure in its development. He will leave the company with immediate effect in order to pursue new business interests.
Marc Walder, Ringier chief executive and chairman of InfrontRingier, said: “We are today the leading sports marketing company in Switzerland. This is exactly what our goal was. Armin Meier has a significant part in it. For that I thank him.”
