Advertiser of the year 2011 elected to the top of Konzert Theater Bern
Nadine Borter will become the new President of the Board of Trustees of Konzert Theater Bern (KTB) in 2018. The 42-year-old advertising executive is to initiate the generational change on the Board of Trustees and give the four-genre theater new impetus.
The city government of Bern elected her as the successor to Benedikt Weibel, who stepped down at the end of 2016. Since then, the Board of Trustees has been led by Marcel Brülhart on an interim basis. This will remain the case until the end of this year.
This is because Borter should first be able to adjust to his new role as a member of the Board of Trustees, as Mayor Alec von Graffenried told the media on Thursday. He considers Borter suitable for initiating the generational change at Konzert Theater Bern.
Nadine Borter is Managing Director and owner of the Bern-based communications agency Contexta. In this role, she was named Advertiser of the Year by Werbewoche in 2011.
She assured the media that she was very much looking forward to her work at the helm of KTB. She was not willing to reveal her cards. First of all, she said, it was about growing into the position. So far, she has only known Konzert Theater Bern as a consumer.
Before she takes over the chairmanship of the Board of Trustees, various personnel matters still need to be clarified - in particular that of Artistic Director Stephan Märki. His contract expires in 2019. How things will continue after that should be clarified by the middle of this year, as KTB interim director Brülhart said when asked. (SDA)
