The media and communications company Somedia is expanding its board of directors with the addition of experienced entrepreneur Laurence Mehl.
The 54-year-old Laurence Mehl was elected to the Board of Directors of Somedia at last Thursday's Annual General Meeting. As a former CEO, including at the Handelsblatt publishing group, Noz Medien in Osnabrück and as Managing Director of Funke Mediengruppe and Managing Director of the market group, Mehl has successfully built up digital business models and agencies, as Somedia writes in a press release. In 2020, Laurence Mehl and his business partners founded the marketing and technology agency Think11, in whose Swiss subsidiary Somedia holds a stake.
