Philipp Griesser brings twelve years of experience in digital business, both on the corporate and agency side. At Dept, he has worked on organizational development and introduced agile ways of working over the past two years. As Commercial Director, he has commercial responsibility for client relationships in the executive team.

At the same time, Dept is strengthening the Growth & Client Relations area and, with a co-head, wants to ensure that both growth and client relations topics are equipped with sufficient management power. As Head of New Business, Isabell Voss is now responsible for lead generation, marketing, sales operations and new customer acquisition. Together with Philipp Griesser, she heads the 16-strong team that also looks after sales and consulting.

For Dept founder Lukas Stuber, this change is a round thing: "Since 2003, back then as co-founder of Yourposition and with the later entry into Dept, I have experienced incredibly exciting years. Today, we have an excellent position in the Swiss market and as part of Dept, we are also successfully active internationally. Now, after more than 17 years, the next generation is ready here in Zurich with Isabell Voss and Philipp Griesser." After a sabbatical, he focuses on sales, strategy consulting and representation in his role as Founder at Dept and takes care of a number of employees as a mentor.

The Executive Board of Dept Zurich is composed as follows:

  • Beat Muttenzer, Managing Director
  • Tobias Scholz, Director Digital Marketing
  • Karin Taheny, Director Finance
  • Philipp Griesser, Commercial Director
