In Olivier Rihs GIMS has found a new Managing Director who knows both the automotive sector and the digital world inside out. He kicked off his career as the manager of a garage in Biel, before taking on the role of District Manager for two automotive brands in Bern and Biel.
His rich experience in the digital world, especially in combination with the automotive sector, was one of the main reasons he was named Managing Director by the Foundation Council. Olivier Rihs will start his new, full-time role on 1 February 2019. To ensure the seamless transfer of responsibilities, Olivier Rihs will work alongside André Hefti during the 89th GIMS in March 2019.
André Hefti has decided to retire on 1 July 2019, but will take on full responsibility for the organisation of the Geneva International Motor Show 2019, thus remaining the main point of contact for exhibitors, the general public and media representatives for this event.
In 2019, the Geneva International Motor Show will be launching a new edition: The 2019 Show will be presented with a new look that includes a new graphic for the publicity campaign and a completely revised web site. The number of inscriptions for the next GIMS is promising so far and the past exhibitors are remaining loyal to the Geneva Show.
