Patrick Berger takes over management of DBU Facility Services
Patrick Berger has been at the helm of DBU Facility Services AG since 1 January 2023. The 31-year-old takes over the reins from his father Daniel Berger. We are extremely pleased that the succession in our family business has been secured. Today, DBU is backed by a young, competent team.
Patrick Berger has been the new Managing Director of DBU Facility Services AG in Schlieren since 1 January. The 30-year-old is not only the new head of the family business, but also a partner in DBU, according to a media release from the company specialising in facility management. Patrick Berger takes over the company management from his father Daniel Berger.
He joined DBU in 2020 to assist with the introduction of the Abacus ERP software. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) covers the areas of personnel, resources, capital, operating resources, materials and information and communication technology. For more than two years, Patrick Berger has been working to further digitalisation within the DBU.
“It is a huge privilege and not at all self-evident that I can take on such a great responsibility at my young age,” Patrick Berger, who has a Master’s degree in business administration, is quoted as saying. “Thanks to this succession solution, the responsibility for DBU remains in the hands of the owners,” Daniel Berger is quoted as saying.
In addition to the new managing director, DBU has also brought other young executives into the team. in 2021, Joanna Schneider took over as Head of Administration and Human Resources. She joined DBU as a commercial apprentice and has worked her way up to become a member of the management team.
Sandro De Nardo, Head of Finance and responsible for Information and Communication Technology (ICT), is a new, young face who joined the DBU in 2021. In spring 2022, Reto Langenegger, an experienced facility management employee, joined the company as operational head of Facility Services. With the strong management team, the new managing director wants to concentrate on overarching topics and strengthen the DBU’s position in the market.
