Austrian discounter Hofer, which is part of the Aldi Süd group, has announced changes in its management structure.
Marietta Schorn, a current member of the board at Hofer, will move to Aldi Süd Australia's board for two years starting from July 1, 2023.
Birgit Reichetseder, the current managing director of the Customer Interaction Unit at Hofer, will take her position on the board during this period.
Schorn joined Hofer's board last year and has been an integral part of the company's leadership team, according to the discounter.
Elsewhere, Reichetseder has been with Hofer for two decades, starting as a regional sales manager in Austria and Slovenia.
She has since held various positions in the company, including as a purchaser and deputy managing director of purchasing at the company's headquarters.
