Markus Will leaves the NZZ
Markus Will, Head of the Consumer Market, has decided to pursue a new career path and will leave the NZZ effective early 2014. The 47-year-old has held this position since 2007 and has played a key role in transforming the media company during that time.
Among other things, Markus Will co-initiated the NZZ's paid content strategy and was responsible for its implementation on the user market side. Until his successor is appointed, the User Market division will be headed by Steven Neubauer on an interim basis. Will, who has been a member of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung management since spring 2012, realigned the user market. According to the press release, he reorganized the marketing departments into market-oriented units, restructured the international print and sales concept, centralized the formerly three different contact centers of the NZZ Media Group and initiated the group-wide customer relationship management system.
