Markus Naef appointed new CEO of SwissSign

Markus Naef will take over the management of SwissSign, the future joint venture between Swiss Post and SBB, from mid-May. He will primarily assume responsibility for the development and marketing of the new uniform digital identity that will be launched by Swiss Post and SBB from autumn 2017.

As previously reported, SBB’s investment in Swiss Post’s subsidiary SwissSign was given the green light by the Competition Commission (COMCO) and the EU Commission in March.

In a statement issued today (6 April), Swiss Post added that Urs Fischer, the current CEO of SwissSign AG, will “remain available to the company in future and contribute his expertise by advising on the customer interface and product strategy”.
