Swiss company SCYLLA AG has appointed Rainer Büttner as Group COO with immediate effect. Büttner is a recognized expert in hospitality and cruising. He previously spent over twelve years at Sea Chefs, where he held overall operational responsibility for nearly 50 river cruise ships. In July 2024, he joined SCYLLA AG as Vice President of Hotel Operations, and now he steps up as COO of the successful group, which currently operates 44 river cruise ships—with numbers steadily growing.
“Rainer Büttner is the right choice for us. With his extensive expertise and deep knowledge, he will set new standards for our customers. At the same time, he will significantly strengthen SCYLLA during its next growth phase and help us further expand our market position,” said Arno Reitsma, CEO of SCYLLA AG.
Rainer Büttner added: “Together with our customers, we aim not only to grow but also to continuously improve our proven high standards of quality. We are on a very successful course overall, and our journey is far from over."
