Elvia boss Jürg Wittwer wants to become SRG boss
SRG Director General Armin Walpen will retire by the end of the year at the latest. Headhunter Martin E. Heuberger is currently compiling a shortlist of five qualified candidates to succeed him. Among the applicants is Elvia CEO Jürg Wittwer.
The 43-year-old CEO of Elvia is being supported by a 21-strong group led by SVP National Councillor Ulrich Giezendanner, whose aim is to fill Switzerland's most important media post with a manager with a civic mindset. Wittwer submitted his application himself a long time ago. He has worked as a journalist for many years and is familiar with the media world, Jürg Wittwer told Sonntag. He also has the necessary management experience.
