Economiesuisse Director joins Nestlé

 Rudolf Ramsauer is stepping down after nine years at the helm of the umbrella organization of the Swiss economy. Ramsauer told the news agency SDA that Economiesuisse was back on a stable course and that it was therefore the right time for him to make a change. He had already considered the change earlier, but had stayed because of the many discussions last year. The salary was not the decisive factor for a change, but it was time to do something new again. Ramsauer started out at a bank, then worked in economic diplomacy, for example as ambassador and Federal Council delegate for trade agreements, before joining Economiesuisse nine years ago.
While his work at Economisuisse mainly revolves around national politics, he has long felt the need to open another chapter with a stronger international focus. He is taking on a management-level role for communications and public relations at the world's largest food company.
His successor at Economiesuisse has not yet been appointed. The association is only just beginning its search, as SDA further reports.
