Katrin Volery becomes Head of Human Resources at Tamedia
Katrin Volery will become the new Head of Human Resources at Tamedia. The experienced HR manager will lead the human resources division of the Swiss media group—which employs over 3,500 people—as a customer-focused service and consulting center.
The new Head of Human Resources will report directly to Sandro Macciacchini, who as a member of the Executive Board will be responsible for the newly created Finance & Human Resources division, as detailed in a press release. Katrin Volery will take over from Jacqueline Wüthrich, who is leaving the company at the end of March 2015, on April 1, 2015.
Katrin Volery, who speaks German, French and Italian among other languages, has held management positions in human resources since 2000. The 46-year-old has managed HR departments at national and international companies of all sizes. Together with her team, Katrin Volery will increasingly focus on the strategic topics of employee recruitment, management and development in the future. By merging salary and personnel administration with finance and accounting, the HR department will be relieved of administrative HR tasks. Daniel Manser, Deputy Head of Finance & HR and previously responsible for Finance and Accounting, will take over the management of the new Finance & HR Services division. Salary and expense payments as well as other administrative processes will therefore be provided from a single source in future.
