The 35-year-old has been with Watson since its launch in February 2014. Most recently, he was a member of the editorial board and head of the society, business and politics department. After the Departure of Hansi Voigt Watson was headed - in addition to Thiriet - by three other editors-in-chief (Werbewoche.ch reported). Before launching Watson, Thiriet worked as a reporter for 20 Minuten Online and as domestic editor for Tages-Anzeiger.
