Congress Messe Innsbruck (CMI) is facing an abrupt change in leadership with CEO Christian Mayerhofer stepping down for personal reasons. He has managed the operations of Tyrol’s leading events company since 2013.
The shareholders of CMI – the City of Innsbruck, the State of Tyrol, the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce, and the Innsbruck and its Holiday Villages Tourism Association – have announced a search for a new CEO.
Until a successful replacement is found, interim management will be handled by the two authorised signatories: Astrid Kirchbichler, head of finance and HR, and Hansjörg Stern, Exhibition Center operations manager. They will steer CMI’s strategic direction in close coordination with the Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board and the shareholders thanked Christian Mayerhofer for his dedication and outstanding management achievements. Under his leadership, Congress Messe Innsbruck has developed its portfolio of offerings and business has been expanded.
Congress Messe Innsbruck plays a key role in the region’s economic and tourism development. With approximately 80 employees and over 100 temporary staff, 450 to 500 events of all kinds are held each year at the three venues: Congress Innsbruck, Messe Innsbruck, and congresspark igls. The venues welcome over 500,000 visitors per year.
