Internal succession solution
"This internal succession solution is a stroke of luck for Swiss Infosec AG," emphasizes Reto Zbinden, CEO of Swiss Infosec AG. Dimitri Korostylev has broad knowledge and expertise and is very familiar with the interdisciplinary approach that characterizes the company.
This refers to the combination of technical, legal, organizational and human aspects that Swiss Infosec AG offers from a single source. It makes it essential to consistently look beyond one's own sphere of activity and turn management functions into hub functions.
Dimitri Korostylev, who as Head of Legal & Data Privacy Consulting is also a member of the Executive Board, is taking over a well and broadly based team from Michael Widmer. Notably, it is probably the largest data protection team in Switzerland in terms of the number of people working outside of law firm structures. In addition to his new duties as head of this data protection team, Dimitri Korostylev will continue to provide advice and training and will be available as an external data protection officer (DPO) in accordance with the FADP and GDPR.
Swiss Infosec AG wishes the former Head of Legal & Data Privacy Consulting, Michael Widmer, all the best and thanks him for his great commitment.
