In the controversy over the future strategy of the hospital operator Rhön-Klinikum, two managers will probably lose their job. Eugen Münch, founder and chairman of the supervisory board, wants to separate himself from Finanzchef Neumann and COO Menger.
Eugen Münch, founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Rhön-Klinikum AG, is already organizing his management board again. According to manager magazin's latest issue (February 17), two executives were able to receive their discharge papers after the Group's Supervisory Board meeting on February 23rd. Finanzchef Jens-Peter Neumann and Wolfgang Menger, who is responsible for operational business, would therefore lose their positions.
Already on 19 January, manager magazine online reported exclusively that Münch appointed his confidantee and PR consultant Stephan Holzinger from February 1 to the new chairman of the board. The background of the renewed review is the conflict between Finanzchef Neumann and Münch on the strategy of the hospital chain. The founder wants to upgrade hospitals with IT and high-performance medical technology. The financial advisor warned him that the group can not afford to make its visions.
According to an opinion from Roland Berger, nearly all clinics in 2016 missed their marginal targets. An implementation of Münch's plans would worsen the Group's liquidity by 45 million Euros per year, leading to a decline in the investment rate and dividend. In mid-January, Rhön issued a profit warning. The Management Board commissioned the report in autumn 2016.
