A business graduate and former cyclist, Hoess was formerly a strategy consultant in Switzerland and Middle East Africa at Roland Berger. Commenting on his future role, Hoess said: “GUTEMARKEN doubled its turnover in 2020 and was named a growth champion by Deloitte and the Financial Times in previous years. I see great potential in GUTEMARKEN and am pleased to be able to actively shape this now.”

Hoellger added: “The demand for e-commerce expertise in the fashion and lifestyle segment has been growing for years. Given his background in various industries, Thomas has the necessary tools to drive GUTEMARKEN even further ahead.”
