Kugel is an experienced German executive known for her influential career in human resources, which she began at Siemens AG in 2001.

Diaz Gonzalez is the former CEO of the travel retail group Dufry AG. During his tenure from 2004 to 2022, he led Dufry through significant growth and numerous acquisitions, transforming the Swiss-listed company into the world's number one travel retailer.
