Bio
William Laufs
I’ve known Hans-Jörg since the commencement of our C&A apprenticeships, some 30 years ago. In the course of time there have been periods when we have worked side by side but I have also been Hans-Jörg’s line manager as Head of Buying C&A Kidswear. Hans-Jörg is an exceptionally strong merchant. His excellent commercial track record has been recognized through steady and steep career growth, from Product Manager to Unit Leader to Head of Buying. His hands on, pace setting style, marked by high enthusiasm, is coupled with a strong, natural commercial sense to identify and exploit opportunities. In his role as
