Lindt & Sprüngli AG named Dieter Weisskopf interim chief executive officer with immediate effect as Adalbert Lechner departs, a leadership shakeup the chocolate maker said is aimed at driving its next phase of growth.
魏斯科普夫目前为董事会副主席及前集团首席执行官，将临时担任该职务，瑞士公司周一在声明中表示。
Weisskopf, currently vice chairman of the board and a former group CEO, will take the role on an interim basis, the Swiss company said in a statement Monday.
利巧表示，预计将在2027年第二季度任命永久继任者。莱希纳离职时已在公司工作33年。
Lindt said it expects to appoint a permanent successor in the second quarter of 2027. Lechner is leaving after 33 years at the company.

The board “concluded that Lindt & Sprüngli requires new operational leadership to return to consistent, strong growth and to capture opportunities in all its markets,” the company said.
魏斯科普夫表示，未来几个月的重点将是使利巧的欧洲业务恢复增长，同时在北美强劲表现的基础上继续发展，并在亚太地区市场（包括澳大利亚、中国和日本）实现市场份额增长。
The focus in the coming months will be on returning Lindt’s European business to growth while building on strong performance in North America and market-share gains in Asia-Pacific markets including Australia, China and Japan, Weisskopf said.
