Judith Setz becomes head of the VBZ media office
Daniela Tobler, a long-time media spokesperson and head of the media office, will be leaving Verkehrsbetriebe Zürich (VBZ) on July 31, 2024, upon her retirement. Judith Setz will succeed her on the corporate communications team, which is led by Silvia Behofsits.
Judith Setz will take up her new position as Head of the VBZ Media Office at the beginning of August 2024. She has many years of experience in corporate communications, most recently as Head of Communications and a member of the Executive Board at the Office for Mobility of the Canton of Zurich. Prior to that, she worked for five years at the Canton of Lucerne, most recently as Deputy Head of Communications at the Department of Finance and the Department of Construction, Environment and Economic Affairs. Setz holds a degree in political science from the University of Zurich.
Many years of professional experience, including as an editor and project manager, round off her profile. Media work has been one of her main focuses throughout her communications career. "I'm looking forward to the wide range of topics at VBZ and the dynamic day-to-day business as head of the media office of one of the largest public transport companies in Switzerland," says Judith Setz about her new challenge.
Leo Herrmann remains Deputy Head of the Media Office and media spokesman.
