Federico Bragagnini becomes editor-in-chief of Keystone-SDA

Federico Bragagnini, currently editor-in-chief of Keystone-SDA's French service, can look back on a career of almost 20 years at the news agency. His career has taken him, among other things, as head of the English service and the trilingual Swiss editorial team of swissinfo.ch, the SRG's public service platform. Bragagnini, who grew up in the canton of Jura and now lives in Bern, has extensive management experience and a deep understanding of the agency business.

"I am very much looking forward to this challenging task. The industry is changing rapidly and we have to adapt to the changing circumstances in order to be able to continue offering our customers a high-quality service in the future," emphasizes Bragagnini.

According to CEO Hanspeter Kellermüller, Bragagnini's appointment is the result of his proven leadership skills and his ability to manage the complex needs of a multilingual editorial team: "Federico Bragagnini is characterized by a pronounced customer focus and entrepreneurial thinking. I am convinced that in his new role he will succeed in further intensifying the close exchange with our customers."

Chairman of the Board of Directors Ueli Eckstein adds: "Federico Bragagnini is at home in all three languages. I am delighted that we have been able to find an excellent leader from our own ranks for this important role."

With Bragagnini's appointment, the management of Keystone-SDA is now complete. In addition to him, the management team includes Hanspeter Kellermüller (CEO), Jann Jenatsch (CRO), Isabelle Schafer (Head of Finance and Controlling) and Tom Schneider, who will start as CTO in October.
