Former head of information at the FDFA becomes head of communications at the trade association
Ruedi Christen will become the new Head of Communications and Editorial at the Swiss Trade Association (SGV).
From 1998 to 2002, the 58-year-old was Head of Information at the FDFA under Foreign Ministers Flavio Cotti and Joseph Deiss. After Switzerland's accession to the UN in 2002, the former journalist went to New York, where he took over responsibility for information on the work of the Swiss UN mission. Back in Switzerland, he moved to the Executive Board of Swissmem, the Association of the Electrical, Mechanical and Metal Industries, in the fall of 2007, where he was also responsible for information. Christen will take up his new position at the SGV at the beginning of August, as the trade association announced according to SDA.
