Peter Hartmeier is moving from the NZZ Gruppe to UBS on 1 June 2010. Since 2009 he has had the publishing responsibilities for the Thurgauer Zeitung as chairman of the board of Huber & Co. Previously he headed corporate communications for the second-largest Swiss publishing company, Tamedia, for two years, and for seven years was editor-in- chief of the Tagesanzeiger, with responsibility for an editorial department of 200 journalists.
