RAPAPORT... Sylvie Ritter has stepped down as managing director of
Baselworld, with Michel Loris-Melikoff set to succeed her, the event’s organizer
said.
Ritter (pictured), who has been with show owner MCH Group for 26 years, has headed
the annual watch and jewelry fair for the last 15 years.
“She has shaped and directed Baselworld with great passion
and professionalism,” said René Kamm, CEO of MCH. “We very much regret her
departure.”
Loris-Melikoff, who will take over from Ritter on July 1,
has been director of MCH Beaulieu Lausanne, an MCH-owned exhibition center in
Lausanne, Switzerland, since 2015. He previously managed an event agency, and
was managing director of St. Jakobshalle, a Basel venue for sports and concerts.
“We are pleased to have found a very competent successor,”
Kamm added.
MCH will expand the Baselworld organizing team and introduce
new initiatives to enhance the event, Loris-Melikoff said.
