The Advisory Board of Ringier's EqualVoice initiative is growing: Christine Graeff, Global Head of People and member of the Executive Board of Credit Suisse Group and Credit Suisse AG, is joining the advisory board of the Ringier initiative.
The aim of Ringier's EqualVoice initiative is to ensure that women are more visible in media reporting and are included as experts in the same way as men. (Werbewoche.ch reported). Publisher Michael Ringier and CEO Marc Walder are presiding over the initiative, which was launched in November 2019 by Ringier Group CFO Annabella Bassler. Now 49-year-old Christine Graeff is joining the EqualVoice initiative.
