Gordana Schiel joins the Frankfurt Airport Retail as Managing Director, alongside Georg Fuhrmann
Frankfurt Airport Retail (FAR), the joint venture between Gebr. Heinemann and Fraport, has appointed Gordana Schiel as a new member of the management team alongside Georg Fuhrmann, who will continue to represent Fraport on the management team.
The incoming Managing Director, who is provided by Gebr. Heinemann, will take up her position on January 1, 2025, succeeding Richard Hoyer, whom FAR thanked for his commitment. Hoyer will return to the company's Hamburg headquarters as Vice President Sales APAC & Transition Management. With Schiel and Georg Fuhrmann, FAR said it has a strong management team and is well positioned for the future.
Schiel brings extensive experience in the travel and retail industries. She has been Managing Director of Heinemann Düsseldorf Duty Free since January 2023, where she successfully established the location after the Hamburg-based family business returned to Düsseldorf.
“We are delighted to welcome Gordana Schiel to our team. Her expertise and commitment will be crucial to continuing the successful development of Frankfurt Airport Retail,” said Karl-Heinz Dietrich, Senior Executive Vice President Retail and Properties at Fraport AG. “I am convinced that she will make a valuable contribution with her vision and leadership style.”
Florian Seidel, Chief Sales Officer at Gebr. Heinemann, added, “Gordana has proven herself to be an outstanding leader in her career to date. I am pleased to be able to further develop a successful managing director with this appointment at another important location and I am convinced that she will further develop the business in Frankfurt with fresh ideas and a clear focus on customer satisfaction.”
Frankfurt Airport Retail operates more than 30 shops, including duty-free and Travel Value shops, luxury boutiques and premium brand shops, and employs around 640 people across a total retail area of approximately 12,000 square meters.
