This 45-year-old Swiss man will take up his duties on October 1, 2026, succeeding Bernd Bauer, who is leaving the company after twelve years at the helm.
Professional course
Wolfensberger has been Chief Operating Officer (COO) and a member of the Executive Board of Eurowings since April 2022.

He began his career in 2008 at Swiss, where he held various roles in finance and commercial operations.
