There are management changes at Davidoff of Geneva Austria GmbH.

Isabella Keusch, the current general manager for Austria, will become  global director for training & development  for all of Oettinger Davidoff AG.

Keusch’s responsibilities will now become those of Mario Samec, the current director of sales for Germany, who will become direct of sales for Austria & Germany.

Those moves will take place Sept. 1, shortly before Davidoff’s new German subsidiary opens on Jan. 1, 2017.

Davidoff of Geneva Austria GmbH was established in 2013, though the company has been selling its cigars in the country well before that. An announcement at the time stated Austria was the company’s 10th largest market.
