Nathalie Hauenstein has been the general manager of the Hauenstein Hotels for the past five years and is part of the Executive Board of the Hauenstein Group. The focus was in particular on strengthening cross-group cooperation, using synergies more intensively, creating structures and expanding the group idea.
Now she will hand over the post of general manager to David Romanato (former co-director of the Belvédère Strandhotel in Spiez).

The goal is to create a working environment that promotes the togetherness and creativity of each individual. The potential of the Hauenstein Group is to be utilised and the people within the Group are to be promoted.
Nathalie Hauenstein: "As an empathic leader, corporate developer and corporate mentor, I want to support and inspire other people to develop themselves in the best possible way, to improve the way they deal with challenges and to find innovative approaches. I am currently working on internal and external offers that promote positive and empathic (self-)leadership".
