Zug Estates Appoints Janine Nauer as New Head of Project Development

The Board of Directors of Zug Estates Holding Ltd has appointed Janine Nauer as Head of Project Development & Construction Projects and a member of the Group Management of Zug Estates Ltd, with her tenure beginning on April 1, 2026. This appointment represents a significant leadership transition for the company as Nauer brings extensive experience from her current role at Swiss Life Asset Management, where she has served as Head of the Real Estate Development Team for German-speaking Switzerland since 2022. Her background includes five years as a project manager and team lead at a Swiss real estate service provider, specializing in project development and realization, preceded by eight years in project management as an architect.

Nauer's educational credentials include a Master of Arts in Architecture from Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) and an EMBA in General Management from the University of St. Gallen (HSG), providing her with both technical and business leadership qualifications essential for overseeing Zug Estates' development projects. She succeeds Peter Wicki, who has decided to pursue new professional opportunities after more than six years with the company. During his tenure, Wicki played a key role in shaping Zug Estates' development as a member of Group Management, earning recognition from the Board of Directors for his commitment and fruitful work for the Zug Estates Group.

The leadership transition occurs as Zug Estates continues to manage a substantial property portfolio valued at CHF 1.92 billion as of June 30, 2025, focusing on centrally located sites in the Zug region that enable diverse uses and support sustainable development. The company maintains an online presence at https://www.zugestates.ch where stakeholders can access additional corporate information. This management change precedes several key corporate events, including the publication of the Annual Report and Sustainability Report 2025 on February 19, 2026, and the General Meeting of Shareholders on April 8, 2026. The appointment signals Zug Estates' commitment to maintaining strong leadership in project development as the company continues to design, develop, market, and manage properties in its strategic locations, including the two primary sites in Zug and Risch-Rotkreuz, while also operating a city resort in Zug featuring business hotels and restaurants.
