Luxury fashion expert Gabriella Schnitzler has been appointed to the FX Mayr Health Centre at Lake Wörthersee, Austria, as executive manager. She will share dual leadership of the retreat with head physician Dr Stephan Domenig.

Swiss by birth, Schnitzler has held management positions for brands such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Estée Lauder, La Prairie and Guerlain. She has consulted for the FX Mayr Health Centre since Q3 2014.

“Over the past year we have worked hard to ensure the atmosphere at the FX Mayr Health Centre is even better than ever and to align it with the high standards of our medical department,” said Schnitzler. “Together with Dr Domenig, I am pleased to be able to set new benchmarks for the Mayr cure.”

Domenig has been responsible for the medical organisation for the centre for more than two years. He introduced a winter vitality programme late in 2014 following the refurbishment of the site.
