Who we are

Mario

Mario, Business Unit Manager loves challenges and would rather give 110% than just 100%. No matter whether that is job-related or while sailing, on a marathon, or engaged in extreme running. He prefers to think logically – and positively. And when he needs to relax from the 110%, then he climbs into his vintage car and enjoys. At 110%. Which is indeed logical – as well as positive.

Melanie

Product Manager. She’s always ready to lend a hand when a problem needs solving, with an energy that carries through to her passion for skiing and cycling. She likes reading, listening to music and gardening. She loves spaghetti and faraway travels. And she is very creative, as shown in her hobbies, which she truly adores.

Manuela

is the head of administration and the backoffice. Thanks to her vast experience she guarantees valid assistance for the Managing Director and always manages to find the right solution to (almost) anything. Her hobbies are DIY and cooking, and she’s so keen on cooking she’s almost a self-taught chef. She has a great sense of humour, for example she’ll say:  "ds4you - das ist der Clou! ds4you - is ds4me! ds4you? The best! That's true!"

Giuseppe

sales manager for Italy, ensures that Italian cuisine is not only fantastic but gluten-free as well. He also ensures everyone gets on well. He is a passionate collector of gadgets, and collects the admiration of his colleagues as well.

Monica

in charge of the Italian office, in other words responsible for ensuring that Italy is kept well supplied with gluten-free food, and for dealing with all the day-to-day niggles. Alongside years of experience with Dr Schär, Monica is an expert in countless alternative healing methods, loves her cats, and is an avid reader. She also wants to learn more languages: German, English … and Hindi?

Luca

Gastronomy Channel Manager and Sales Manager for Switzerland: he’s in charge of the HoReCa channel, including management and development of the DS Pizza Point network, and he’s also responsible for the Swiss market. He’s also a hit with the ladies on the team, and shares his love of shoes with them. If anyone is still in the office late at night – it’s Luca.

Elisabeth

responsible for DS marketing, is in charge of commissioning campaigns, planning newsletters and publicising pizza points, among other tasks. Didn’t you know you can get DS products in Switzerland? That must be Lisi’s fault. Apart from that she never makes any mistakes and can do hundreds of things at once. She’s always late and loves punctuality, as well as her daughter and her job. She enjoys travelling, touring, running and cycling. All at the same time, of course.

Caroline

Caroline has been Communications Manager since June 2007. Along with Lisi, she is responsible for communications and public relations running smoothly and, for example, seeing to it that this website is kept up to date. And because for her, living and working go together, she loves everyday communications. She is outgoing, likes to travel, loves dining, art, laughing, roller coasters, and her golden retriever. In short, she enjoys enjoying life.

Norman

Norman, Sales Director for Germany and Austria, is a tennis enthusiast who also likes to golf and listen to music in general, from rock to pop. He’s open to everything, loves travelling and is tempted by all tasty things, especially Italian cuisine. He has a weakness for sports cars, and when he's out with friends, he gets the party started!
