After seven years with V-ZUG, Nic Naes has confirmed he will be leaving the business in August.
“It is with mixed emotions, and with huge excitement for what’s next, that I advise of my resignation from V-ZUG,” Naes said in a statement.
“I joined this beautiful company some seven years ago and I am immensely proud of what the team and I have achieved together with our supporters and partners. I walk proud knowing that V-ZUG is poised for a continued great future, with ironclad Australia and New Zealand priority from our owners and executive committee in Zug, Switzerland.”
Naes will be moving to a new opportunity, but staff within the business have confirmed is not clear whether he will be remaining within the appliance industry or even within the Australian market. A replacement has not been named at this stage.
“My ‘where-to-from-here’ is under embargo for now, expected to be announced during June, with me commencing my new role Monday September 1,” he said.
“My last day with V-ZUG will be Friday August 29, until then it is business as usual. Any gap there may be between my departure and arrival of my successor will be managed appropriately.
“I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our partners across Architecture, Design, Property Development, Real Estate Marketing and Sales, and more, and our distribution partner Winnings. Furthermore, the success to-date would not have been possible without my team in Australia, a special shout-out to Sally Lukey and Louie Au. Additionally, our broader international team, and all colleagues in Zug, Switzerland. It’s been my privilege to work alongside you all and contribute to the V-ZUG progress. To Alberto Bertoz, my true north, Thank you.”
