Personnel changes at Swiss Equity Medien

Swiss Equity Medien can look back on a very successful financial year, according to a press release issued on Wednesday. The repositioning of the Swiss Equity magazine as an NZZ magazine has opened up new market segments and significantly increased circulation. Another milestone was the launch of the "Swiss Equity yearbook Real Estate". In the events business, the company succeeded in establishing new conferences such as SE corporate finance day, which specializes in corporate finance, and SE cleantech day, an investor conference on green investments.

Due to this positive development, Swiss Equity will strengthen the team. Predrag Nehmer will join the sales team at the beginning of January 2011. The 31-year-old will take over key account management in the Life Sciences division. At the beginning of April, Reinhard Blum will replace Mario Ferraris as Key Account Manager in the Real Estate division, who has no longer worked for Swiss Equity since the beginning of December. The 47-year-old Blum is currently responsible for the real estate market at NZZ-Media. Elke Schaller will join the marketing and events team at the beginning of February. The 31-year-old previously worked in marketing at the medtech company Hocoma. In the editorial department, Swiss Equity was able to recruit Werner Grundlehner for a new project. The 45-year-old is currently head of the business team at Swisscontent and previously worked at "Finanz + Wirtschaft" for eleven years.

Swiss Equity Medien AG will be fully integrated into Neue Zürcher Zeitung AG from January 2011. Björn Zern, former Managing Director of Swiss Equity Medien AG, will continue to head the Swiss Equity division within the NZZ. He will also remain editor-in-chief of "Swiss Equity Magazin".
