  "account": "Migros CEO Mario Irminger will leave the company before its planned restructuring is completed. The restructuring involves merging 11 cooperatives into one group cooperative, a move Irminger describes as a \"historical turning point\". Irminger, who has been in the role for three years, will depart after a vote on the restructuring in summer 2027, along with Peter Diethelm, head of Supermarkt AG. Irminger says the company is in a \"position of strength\" and that it is the right time for him to step down.",
  "summary": "Migros CEO Irminger will leave the cooperative before the reorganization. He has restructured Migros and geared it towards change, but leaves behind a cultural vacuum.",
