Peter Manhart becomes partner of Communicators
Peter Manhart, a business and finance editor, will join the Swiss communications group Communicators as a partner and member of the executive board effective April 1, 2019. The 43-year-old will strengthen the financial communications division.
Manhart will use his expertise in financial communications to serve clients in the banking, asset management and pension sectors. After studying journalism at the University of Zurich, he first worked as an IT specialist before turning to journalism and working for some of Switzerland's leading German-language business and financial publications: from 2001 to 2010 in various departments at Finance and economy, then as deputy editor-in-chief at the investor magazine Stocks and from 2013 as an investment specialist at Balance. From 2013 to 2015, he managed an investment writing project for UBS as Product Specialist. Since then, he has led the investment department of the Handelszeitung.
"My experience in content management and storytelling on financial topics and the broad network I have built up over the past 15 years are something I can bring to my new role at Communicators in the best possible way. In addition, I am looking forward to now also being entrepreneurially active," Manhart comments on his job change. "Peter Manhart is the ideal reinforcement for our finance team. As a journalist of many years' standing, he knows what content is received by the media. In addition, as a former member of the management of a major bank, he knows the needs of customers. At 43 years of age, Peter Manhart ensures a sustainable succession solution in the agency and a continued high quality of services," emphasizes Christian Weber, Partner and Chairman of the Board of Financial Communicators, the finance division of the Communicators Group.
