The Zur Rose Group is appointing Bernd Gschaider to a newly created position heading, managing and organising all logistics processes across the Group. Since 2016 the 53-year old German citizen has been at Amazon, first running 13 fulfilment centres in Germany as Director of Operations (the "first mile"), then taking over responsibility for the "last mile" in Germany and Austria as Country Director Logistics in 2018.

He holds a degree in mechanical engineering from RWTH Aachen University.

The appointment of Bernd Gschaider marks an important step by the Zur Rose Group for the continued positive performance of the Group and the challenges of the future. "The position of Chief Operations Officer is strategically important for the further integration of logistics activities in the German market and for geographical expansion," said Walter Oberhänsli, CEO of the Zur Rose Group. "We are therefore very pleased to have persuaded a strong manager like Bernd Gschaider to join us. His many years of industry experience in various management positions in Europe and at the world's largest online retailer make him a valuable and optimal addition to the existing management team."
