Hot Shot Stepping Off: Mainau Island's Island CEO Bids Adieu
Island Leader Assumes Management Role on Mainau Island - Island leader relinquishes administrative roles on Mainau Island
Hey there!
The cat's out of the bag - Countess Bettina Bernadotte, our rockstar Island CEO on the Lake Constance's Mainau Island, is calling it quits. She's decided to make room for a fusion of familial wisdom and external whiz-bang in the management's top seat, as announced by the Mainau GmbH. Fear not, her brother, Count Björn Bernadotte, will keep his post as the managing director.
50 years young and leading the flock since 2007, Bettina shared, "I'll stay connected to the Mainau through the foundation's board." The island near Konstanz is like a family heirloom for the Bernadotte family, who've sculpted it for five generations, traceable back to the Swedish royal house.
With its mesmerizing parks and gardens, a Baroque castle, a palm house, and a vibrant butterfly house, nestled on approximately 45 hectares, the Mainau Island ranks among the top tourist attractions on Lake Constance, pulling over a million visitors a year.
The Mainau GmbH boasts a dedicated crew of around 150 full-time employees and 30 apprentices year-round, and welcomes an additional 200 part-timers each season. The Lennart Bernadotte Foundation is the sole proprietor of the company, and the hunt for the new external commander-in-chief is already on, as a spokesperson informed.
However, here's a heads up - the search results didn't spill the beans on who the potential new boss could be. It's like the ending of a thrilling mystery, and we'll just have to wait and see who steps up to the plate!
As the Mainau GmbH embarks on the search for a new CEO, they're not only looking for a strategic leader but also someone who aligns with their community and employment policies. The upcoming CEO will need to engender a lifestyle on the island that harmonizes with its visitor-friendly ambiance and its home-and-garden charm, fostering an environment that matches the vibrant workforce of around 210 employees year-round.
