Media Markt and Saturn CEO leaves for top position at Barcelona football club

Ceconomy, the owner of retailers Media Markt and Saturn, said the CEO of Media-Saturn-Holding, Ferran Reverter Planet, will leave the company to become Chief Executive Office of the Barcelona men's football club. Reverter Planet, a Barcelona native, decided not to extend his contract expiring in October 2021. Ceconomy's supervisory board wants to reorganise the management structure following the acquisition of the minority stake of 21.62 percent from Convergenta, the investment company of the Kellerhals family.

The management and the supervisory board of Ceconomy agreed to terminate Reverter Planet’s contract at the end of June. Ferran Reverter Planet joined MediaMarktSaturn in 2002 and has held numerous management positions in several areas of the group. He took over the responsibility for all the business operations in Spain as COO of MediaMarkt Iberia in 2011. He was promoted to CEO for Iberia two years later. In 2015, he became COO of Media Saturn Holding, and was appointed CEO in October 2018.
