The Board of Directors of Zug Estates Holding Ltd has appointed Janine Nauer as Head of Project Development & Construction Projects and a member of the Group Management of Zug Estates Ltd, with her tenure scheduled to begin on April 1, 2026. This leadership transition comes at a critical time for the Zug Estates Group, which manages a property portfolio valued at CHF 1.92 billion as of June 30, 2025, focusing on centrally located sites in the Zug region that support sustainable development.
Nauer brings substantial experience to the role, having worked in project development at Swiss Life Asset Management since 2022, where she most recently served as Head of the Real Estate Development Team for German-speaking Switzerland. Her background includes five years as a project manager and team lead at a Swiss real estate service provider, specializing in project development and realization, plus eight years in project management as an architect. She holds a Master of Arts in Architecture from Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) and an EMBA in General Management from the University of St. Gallen (HSG).
She succeeds Peter Wicki, who has decided to pursue new professional challenges after more than six years with Zug Estates. During his tenure, Wicki played a key role in shaping the company's development as a member of Group Management. The Board of Directors expressed gratitude for his commitment and contributions to the Zug Estates Group.
This appointment is significant for the real estate industry and investors monitoring Zug Estates' strategic direction. The company's portfolio includes prominent sites in Zug and Risch-Rotkreuz, alongside a city resort in Zug featuring business hotels Park Hotel Zug and City Garden, plus various restaurants. Nauer's expertise in project development and construction will be crucial in advancing the company's focus on properties that enable diverse uses and sustainable growth.
For stakeholders, this leadership change may influence future project timelines, sustainability initiatives, and the overall management of Zug Estates' substantial assets.
