Uwe Tännler

Uwe Tännlerborn in 1958, is President of Swiss Marketing. As OC President of the Swiss Marketing Day, he has ensured that this formerly provincial event in Fribourg has developed into the summit meeting of the Swiss marketing community. Under his leadership, Swiss Marketing's flagship event was held for the tenth time this year at the KKL Lucerne with over 1000 participants. Uwe Tännler has been working as an independent personnel and management consultant since 1996, and his training at Sulzer Escher Wyss AG awakened his love of technology. Tännler remained loyal to his first employer for over ten years before becoming a vocational instructor and later a personnel consultant. After a number of in-service training courses in technical and business areas such as corporate management, marketing and sales, he founded Tännler Personalmanagement AG in 1996, of which he is still Managing Director today. In 2005, Swiss Marketing appointed the versatile entrepreneur and consultant as President of the Organizing Committee for the Swiss Marketing Day, appointing him President of the Central Board a year later. Tännler has also been Vice Chairman of the European Marketing Confederation and a member of the ConferenceArena Advisory Board since 2008. In the same year, Swiss Marketing received the Gold Xaver Award in the Best Supplier category for the Swiss Marketing Day - an award that particularly honors its president. The fact that the art and design aficionado, who is also a jury member for the Award for Marketing+Architecture, still has time for private hobbies such as a Harley ride speaks volumes for his management qualities.
