Migros-Umbau: Mario Irmingers Radikalkur hat dem orangen Riesen eine Identitätskrise beschert

Mario Irminger, the CEO of Migros, has left the organization just before the planned reorganization, leaving behind a cultural vacuum. The Migros plans to merge eleven Genossenschaften into a single group Genossenschaft, calling it a "historical turning point" and an "epochal step." However, Irminger, the architect of the planned restructuring, becomes the victim of his own revolution.

The 61-year-old is set to leave after the vote on the reorganization in summer 2027. He stated that the Migros is acting from a position of strength financially, but he does not mention that it was his achievement that the Migros now stands at the brink of a historic opportunity to break its complex structures.
