Sulzer joined the Skyliners in March 2024, initially as head of corporate communications. He was later appointed as CEO of the Skyliners' basketball Bundesliga team in July 2024.

In light of this, the Skyliners have indicated that they will be appointing an interim management team to oversee day-to-day operations while they conduct a thorough search for a new CEO. The team aims to ensure stability during the transition and maintain their focus on competitive performance and organisational growth.
The Skyliners' management team is set to be expanded due to the upcoming projects and challenges. These include the development of a new multi-purpose arena and the youth performance centre. Further details about the new management structure and long-term plans are expected to be shared soon by Skyliners' leadership.
At this time, no successor for Thomas Sulzer as CEO of the Skyliners has been announced. The appointment of another CEO is not currently planned at Skyliners GmbH. The departure of Sulzer marks the end of a short tenure, as he has been in office for less than 1.5 years.
