Olaf Koch, the ex-CEO of Metro, has a new side job. He is founding a strategy and investment consultancy.
Olaf Koch doesn't take much time off. He left the executive suite of Metro Group at the end of the year, and is now founding a strategy and investment consultancy for young companies. Koch's newly founded company is called Monrepos Advisers. This is reported by Wirtschaftswoche
. Depending on the start-up, Koch will act as investor, business angel or in another form, he said."This will certainly not become my main activity, but I already found working with founders at Metro extremely exciting," Koch told Wirtschaftswoche
. However, he will not support any business models from gastronomy or wholesale with Monrepos Advisers. The name of his consultancy refers to Schloss Monrepos in Ludwigsburg, where he founded his first company in 1995.Metro will now - until a successor for Koch is found - be jointly managed by the two board members Christian Baier and Rafael Gasset.
