Schiesser appoints its new CEO

With her many years of experience in the global fashion and apparel industry and her proven expertise in brand strategy, we are convinced that Sonja Balodis will successfully lead the Schiesser brand into the future,” explains Isaac Dabah, CEO of Delta Galil, the parent company of Schiesser.

She has more than 30 years of extensive experience in management positions at fashion and clothing companies. Most recently, she was CEO at Comma and was also a member of the Management Board of the s.Oliver Group. Under her leadership, Comma developed into one of the top 10 brands in the modern mainstream womenswear segment; over a period of more than 12 years, the company achieved a double-digit annual EBIT growth rate.

Sonja Balodis was also Chief Product Officer of the S.Oliver Group (for women’s, men’s and children’s clothing) and Managing Director at Marc Cain. She therefore has extensive experience in brand management as well as in the development and implementation of corporate and brand strategies. She succeeds Andreas Lindemann, who has successfully led Schiesser as CEO for the past 6.5 years. He will remain in office during the transition month of March to ensure a smooth change of leadership. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andreas Lindemann for his outstanding achievements and commitment over the past years,” explains Isaac Dabah. “He has successfully developed the company and we wish him all the best for his future endeavours.”
