This is why I look forward to making a decisive contribution to this success, together with the Management Board and the Supervisory Board team. On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank the outgoing members Gaetano Marzotto, a member of this body for 15 years, Robin J. Stalker, and, of course, my predecessor Hermann Waldemer for their successful work", says Stephan Sturm, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of HUGO BOSS.
