Rolf Fehlbaums position at Vitra has changed[edit]

Hello everybody,

Rolf Fehlbaum's position within the Vitra company has changed. I suggest to change the text as proposed below. As I am an employee of Vitra, I would like the community to check and - if conform to the wikipedia guidelines - add my propositions. Sources: Vitra didn't communicate Rolf Fehlbaum's new position explicitly, so there's no reliable published source that can be given, that's why I propose the company's website as a reference, I think this is the most reliable source for such information about the company itself.

1st I propose to change the first paragraph at the very beginning to :

Rolf Fehlbaum (born April 6, 1941, Basel) is Chairman Emeritus and active Member of the Board of Directors of Vitra, a family-owned furniture company with headquarters in Birsfelden, Switzerland.^[1] Fehlbaum was head of the company from 1977 to 2013.

2nd I propose to change the title of the chapter currently titled “Vitra Chairman” to:

References

Achievements at Vitra[edit]

3rd I propose to change the last paragraph of the same chapter (old title "Vitra Chairman") to :

In 2005, Rolf Fehlbaum withdrew from daily business operations with the company. He held the position of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vitra until 1 July 2013. Since then he is Chairman Emeritus and active Member of the Board of Directors.

What do you think? --ChrisatVitra (talk) 11:25, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
