Wir Bank: New Head of Digital Media and Media Spokesperson
Wir Bank, headquartered in Basel, is strengthening its communications efforts: Volker Strohm (46) will become head of the newly created Digital Media division effective October 1, 2014, and will also serve as the bank’s spokesperson in this role.
For the Basel native, it is a return to his traditional industry: Strohm worked for a major bank from 1988 to 1999 before moving to Axel Springer Switzerland in October 2000 after working as an editor at Basellandschaftliche Zeitung, where he was involved in the launch of the investor magazine "Stocks". From 2008 Strohm was a member of the editorial board, and from 2010 editor-in-chief. At the end of 2011, he switched to online journalism, where he has since been responsible for the editorial content of Handelszeitung.ch, Bilanz.ch and Finanzen.ch as deputy editor-in-chief of Schweizer Wirtschaftsnetz.
