"With Nancy Cruickshank and Anna Mossberg, we are expanding the digital and technological expertise of the Board of Directors of Ringier AG," Michael Ringier, Chairman of the Ringier Board of Directors, is quoted as saying in a communiqué.
Laura Rudas, Executive Vice President at Palantir Technologies and a member of the Ringier Board of Directors since summer 2020, did not stand for re-election. In the 2023/2024 term of office, the Ringier Board of Directors will thus be composed of Chairman Michael Ringier, Vice Chairman Uli Sigg, and the members Roman Bargezi, Urs Berger, Claudio Cisullo, Nancy Cruickshank, Lukas Gähwiler, Anna Mossberg, Prof. Felix Oberholzer-Gee, and Michèle Rodoni.
