Stefan Wyss, now 46, started at the former Schweizer Fernsehen in summer 2009 as a communications and marketing consultant for the information department. Following the merger of Radio DRS with Schweizer Fernsehen to form SRF, he was responsible for the information departments of radio and television in the same capacity from the fall of 2010, before being appointed media spokesman for the radio and TV editorial departments in mid-2013. In addition, Stefan Wyss took over as deputy head of Media Relations in the summer of 2017 and, following a reorganization within this area, as team leader of SRF's Media Office in the summer of 2020.
Before joining Swiss TV, the Zurich native worked for the industry portal persoenlich.com for five years, most recently as editorial director. Stefan Wyss studied German, journalism and political science at the University of Zurich and graduated with a master's degree. He is leaving SRF at the end of May to take on a new professional challenge.
Stefan Wyss says: "A big thank you to my team, my superiors and the many colleagues in the Communications department and throughout the company. Through the always great and trusting cooperation, I have been able to acquire a wealth of experience over all these years, which is now enabling me to take the next step for personal development elsewhere."
Andrea Wenger, Head of Media Relations: "Extremely competent, resilient, creative, humorous and an excellent team player - the list of Stefan Wyss' positive qualities both professionally and as a person could be extended indefinitely. Even though I understand his decision, I very much regret the loss for our team and the entire SRF company. I sincerely wish Stefan Wyss all the best for the future."
The successor to Stefan Wyss as head of SRF's media office is still open. The position will be advertised internally and externally.
