Thomas Wellauer, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SIX Group, has informed the Board that he will not stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting in 2026.

Thomas Wellauer assumed the chairmanship of SIX in 2020 with the mandate to position SIX strategically and operationally for the future.

“When I took on the role in 2020, it was with a clear mission: to make SIX strategically and operationally future-proof”, said Thomas Wellauer. “Today, the company stands on significantly stronger footing – with a successful new strategy in place, operations streamlined and more commercially driven, and a refreshed management team. With important objectives achieved, the time has come to prepare the ground for a smooth transition in the Chair. Until the handover next year, I remain fully committed to supporting the Board and executive team in delivering on our agenda.”

The process to identify a successor has been initiated by the Board of Directors.
