Hans-Peter Nehmer becomes president of the Harbourclub

The Harbourclub, the network of communications executives from Swiss companies and organizations, has appointed its board member Hans-Peter Nehmer as president effective January 1, 2020. Hans-Peter Nehmer is Chief Communications Officer at Allianz Suisse, where he is responsible for the insurance group's corporate communications and corporate social responsibility activities in Switzerland.

Previously, he held the same position at UPC Cablecom and the internationally active Hotelplan Group. Before switching sides to the PR industry, Nehmer worked for more than ten years as an editor and presenter at the private radio station Radio Z and on Swiss television. He has been jury president of the Swiss Annual Report Rating since 2015. His appointment is subject to election by the Annual General Meeting on March 13, 2020.

Hans-Peter Nehmer takes over from Dominique Morel, who has led the club for the last five years and will leave at the end of March 2020 for statutory reasons, as he will no longer be active as Head Marketing, Communications & Sales at KPMG, but as a consultant for Marketing, Reputation & Customer Experience. "The Harbour Club would like to thank Dominique Morel for his great commitment. He has shaped the communications landscape in Switzerland with his innovative ideas and done much for the reputation of the profession. He is handing over a well-ordered house and I look forward to continuing the Harbourclub on this foundation. Given the many challenges in corporate communications, this is an exciting task," says Hans-Peter Nehmer, commenting on his appointment.
