Santésuisse Head of Communications Pfenninger leaves
After just seven months in office, Santésuisse Communications Director Urs Pfenninger is leaving the umbrella organization for health insurers at the end of May. The reason for this decision is said to be «differing views regarding the direction of Santésuisse’s communications strategy.».
The separation is by mutual agreement. This was announced by Santésuisse on Thursday. Pfenninger has decided to pursue a new career outside the industry association.
Urs Pfenninger succeeded Felix Schneuwly as Head of the Policy and Communications Department at Santésuisse on November 1, 2011. In this role, he was responsible for the industry association's communication strategy and public affairs.
Until Pfenninger's successor has been appointed, Paul Rhyn will take over as Deputy Head of the Politics and Communications Division with immediate effect. (sda)
