Claudine Furrer will take up the position of CEO at the Swiss business travel specialist Finass Reisen, a member of Hotelplan Group, on 1 November 2021. She succeeds Erica Dillier, who will continue to act for the company in an advisory capacity until the end of 2022.

CEO Erica Dillier is handing over the reins at Finass Reisen. Claudine Furrer will take over as chief executive of the business travel provider on 1 November 2021. In her new role, she will be reporting directly to Hotelplan Group CEO Laura Meyer. Claudine Furrer was hitherto a member of the three-person management team at Finass Reisen, where she heads the incentive and event travel department. She joined the company in 2007, where she completed her training as a travel specialist. She has since pursued further studies, initially obtaining a qualification as a certified marketing manager, and is about to complete a Master of Advanced Studies in Leadership & Management. "Thanks to her many years of experience at Finass Reisen, Claudine Furrer knows the company inside out. Together with her further qualifications, this makes her the perfect choice for the CEO post. On behalf of the entire group management, I would like to wish her much satisfaction in her new role," says Laura Meyer.

Erica Dillier took over Finass Reisen AG 28 years ago with her then business partner and developed the company into a successful provider of business, incentive and holiday travel. "On behalf of the entire group management, I would like to thank Erica Dillier for her commitment over the past years. We wish her only the best in all her future endeavours," says Laura Meyer.
