Life and family

Karl-Erivan Haub was born on March 2, 1960 in Tacoma, Washington. He is the oldest son of Erivan Haub the former CEO of Tengelmann Group. From 1978 to 1983, Haub studied economics and social sciences at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. At the same time, he was a trainee at Tengelmann Group.

According to Forbes, his family is one of the richest in the world.[1]

Disappearance

Haub is an experienced ski mountaineer. On April 7, 2018, he went training for a skiing tour in Zermatt, Switzerland and did not return, thus being reported as missing.[2] Reportedly, he intended to take part in the Patrouille des Glaciers, the world's biggest ski touring race which starts in Zermatt (respectively in the valley to the west, Arolla), and ends in Verbier. He had been taking part in this 53 km long race for several years.[3]

Following his disappearance, Tengelmann announced that his brother Christian W.E. Haub would be appointed sole CEO of Tengelmann Group effective April 18, 2018.[4]

A week after he went missing, the search was called off and Haub is now presumed dead.[5]

In October 2018, the search was discontinued due to lack of prospects of success.[6]

Career

Haub worked for Nestlé and McKinsey & Company before joining Tengelmann again. In 2000, Haub became CEO of Tengelmann Group.[7]
