Welcome to my webpage!
The world needs media! As CEO of the largest internationally operating Swiss media corporation, this is, what I am convinced of. Independent media contribute to a society with a diversity of opinions and thereby sustain the development of modern democracies. This will also not change in the future, despite global digitalisation and the accompanying changes in our society. To the contrary!
Since 2009 I steer the affairs of the Ringier media group as their CEO and actively partake in these changes. And currently I sense an atmosphere of new beginnings! The media industry is in a stage of critical change, and we are amidst of it.
I'd like to use this website, to exchange views about areas of interest, that seem crucial to me concerning these developments, as well as other subjects I find generally interesting.
Contact me or leave me a comment - I'd appreciate entering a conversation with you!
Sincerely,

Which Media Brands Do You Trust?
There are few industries that are experiencing such world-shaking changes as the media industry is. This change requires a radical new way of thinking from those in the industry. Print media are under pressure, digital platforms are on the advance, and user behavior is changing drastically. The variety of information is also increasing at an enormous rate; the data available in the Internet doubles every five months, for example. However, I am absolutely convinced this is precisely the reason why media companies are needed more than ever. Their importance will even increase in spite of or rather due to the rapidly progressing digitalization of the world.
