Insiders from the media industry are putting forward a new candidate for the post of SRG CEO: Edipresse CEO Tibère Adler. As the Sonntagszeitung writes in its current edition, the 46-year-old from Geneva is set to succeed Armin Walpen, who will retire at the end of 2010. Adler is a lawyer and a graduate of the IMD management school. "He therefore fits the profile that the Nomination Committee of the SRG Board of Directors will present next Tuesday: They are looking for an experienced top manager with affinities to the media industry."
Regarding a possible candidacy, Adler is said to have simply said on Saturday: "No comment." His current salary, which according to the French-speaking Swiss business magazine PME amounted to CHF 914,000 last year, speaks against an SRG job. As the top boss of the public broadcaster in Bern, he would earn just over half a million francs, according to the Sonntagszeitung.
