Bakom's Central Secretary General, Gianna Luzio, ascends to the position of head leadership.
On Friday, September 19, 2025, Albert Roesti, head of the Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC), announced the appointment of Gianna Luzio to the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM). Luzio, aged 45, hailing from Graubuenden, will take office on October 1.
Luzio has served as Secretary General of a centrist party for seven years, working closely with then President Gerhard Pfister on the name change from CVP to Mitte. However, her management style in the party secretariat was criticized as problematic, with the media describing a "climate of fear".
In May, Luzio announced her resignation from the party. Now, she is set to lead OFCOM, a Swiss governmental agency responsible for media and telecommunications. Despite never working in the media industry, Luzio was chosen for her position due to Roesti's preference for an external candidate.
An external investigation initiated by Mitte women sharply criticized Luzio, but a former federal judge consulted by the Executive Committee found no evidence of misconduct. No further details about the appointment process were provided in the article.
The appointment of Luzio comes as the centrist party will need to find a replacement for her as Secretary General. As for the person who will replace Luzio as the new head of OFCOM on October 1, there is no publicly available information.
Luzio's appointment was made at 13:30 on September 19, 2025, with a second announcement regarding the appointment being made at 14:11 on the same day. No further details about the appointment process were provided in the article.
The appointment of Gianna Luzio to OFCOM marks a new chapter in the leadership of this important governmental agency. As she prepares to take office, the public will be eager to see how her leadership style will evolve and what impact she will have on OFCOM and the broader media and telecommunications landscape.
