Pierre-André Schmitt, Editor-in-Chief of Automobil Revue and the French-language Revue Automobile, has decided to leave the two magazines in the course of the spring to take on a new challenge. He took over the management of the two automotive magazines, which are part of Tamedia's Magazines division, in summer 2008. Prior to this, he was Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the business magazine Bilanz and held the same position at the news magazine Facts.
In addition to being editor-in-chief of First magazine, Schmitt will once again be responsible for luxury reporting at the business magazine Bilanz. In French-speaking Switzerland, Olivier Toublan, Editor-in-Chief of PME Magazine and Private Banking, will have overall responsibility for First as Editorial Director of Axel Springer Switzerland's French-language publications. It will be published for the first time on March 26, 2010.
The 68-page publication will be enclosed with the business titles Bilanz and Handelszeitung as well as PME Magazine (First - Le magazine de l'élégance et du style), which is published in French-speaking Switzerland. The magazine will be published four times a year with a circulation of 130,000 copies - on March 26, May 21, September 24 and December 1, 2010. The new magazine is a joint production of Axel Springer Switzerland's Zurich and Geneva sites.
