Susanna Schneeberger, the member of the KION Group executive board responsible for segment supply chain solutions (Dematic), is leaving the company. As chief digital officer, she was also responsible for digital transformation.

Gordon Riske, chief executive officer of the KION Group, says: "Susanna Schneeberger has been a driving force behind the group's process of digitalisation and created a solid foundation and groupwide roadmap for the further internal and external digital transformation of the group."
The tasks of the current supply chain solution and digital business transformation role will be integrated into the other executive board roles.
