MediaWorld appoints Stefano Pasini as new Commercial Country Manager

MediaWorld has appointed Stefano Pasini as its new Commercial Country Manager. He will succeed Sven Degezelle, who has decided to conclude his career with the MediaMarktSaturn Group and will leave the company at the end of the handover scheduled for January.

Solid experience

With over twenty years of experience in the electronics, retail and consumer goods sectors, Pasini has held management positions in sales and general management. He joins from Electrolux, where he was General Manager Italy, and until now has served as President of Applia Italia, the association of appliance manufacturers. His career has also included Groupe Seb, Damiani Group and Indesit, where he held responsibilities across several markets.

The comment

"I would like to thank Electrolux for the journey we have shared over these years and for the trust placed in me. Joining MediaWorld is an honour and an important opportunity for me: I am excited to be able to put my experience at the service of a market-leading organisation, with the aim of contributing to the development of the commercial strategy, strengthening partnerships with suppliers, expanding the offering for customers and achieving the ambitious challenges that lie ahead," said Stefano Pasini.

The outgoing manager

Sven Degezelle joined MediaMarktSaturn in 2003 and, during his career, held senior positions in several European markets, including Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, also taking on coordinating roles in the Benelux area. From 2023, he led MediaWorld's Commercial division, contributing to improved company performance through more effective margin management, the consolidation of supplier relationships and the optimisation of processes. During his tenure, the category management organisation evolved, automated pricing systems were introduced, and the supply chain, services & solutions and B2b activities were developed.

Commenting on the change at the helm of the Commercial division, Emanuele Cosimelli, CEO of MediaWorld, said: "I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sven for the commitment and dedication with which he has guided MediaWorld over these years. I have had the privilege of working alongside a highly experienced professional, but above all an authentic, generous person capable of facing every challenge with the conviction that nothing is impossible, without ever losing his humility and curiosity to learn. His contribution was decisive to the growth of our commercial organisation and the results achieved. Sven has my deepest gratitude and very best wishes for the future. I warmly welcome Stefano, confident that he will bring new skills and energy to our team."
