Lorenzo Stoll will leave his position as head of cargo at Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) as he takes up a role outside the aviation industry.
Stoll has worked for the airline for more than 11 years and was appointed head of Swiss WorldCargo in April 2021. He is moving to a chief executive role at a Switzerland-based healthcare company.
The company said the search for a replacement was underway.
“As head of cargo, Lorenzo Stoll has successfully guided SWISS’s airfreight division through highly challenging times over the past three years – during the Covid-19 crisis in particular, when Stoll and his Swiss WorldCargo team effectively ensured that Switzerland remained provided by air with various vital supplies,” the airline said in a press release.
Lorenzo Stoll joined SWISS in 2013, initially as the company’s head of western Switzerland.
“With his innovative flair and his keen customer focus, Lorenzo Stoll has had a huge and lasting impact on both our Geneva operations and our Swiss WorldCargo division,” said SWISS chief financial officer Markus Binkert.
“He was also instrumental in ensuring during the COVID pandemic that, at a time of low passenger numbers, Swiss WorldCargo made a vital contribution to our revenue results.”
“At the same time,” Binkert continued, “Sustainability has always been one of Lorenzo’s prime focuses and concerns. And it’s thanks to him and his Swiss WorldCargo team that our SWISS airfreight business is so well equipped and prepared today for the challenges of tomorrow.
“With his vision and his perspective, Lorenzo has set key processes in motion within our airfreight organisation that will enable even greater and more permanent use to be made of the various cargo synergies within the Lufthansa Group. I offer Lorenzo my deepest thanks for all his energies and endeavours on behalf of our company, and I wish him every further success and satisfaction in his new challenges ahead.”
