Swico Managing Director nominated for the National Council
On June 25, Swico's new CEO, Judith Bellaiche, was nominated by her party as a candidate for the National Council. With her election, Swico would have a strong representation in the Federal Parliament, which consistently supports the concerns of the ICT industry.
Judith Bellaiche starts from the hopeful position 5 on the list of the Green Liberal Party of the Canton of Zurich. She has been a member of the Zurich Cantonal Council for more than eight years and, as an economic politician, consistently advocates
innovation and digitization. Thanks to her clear positioning as a progressive, pro-business and pro-environment representative of the political center and her convincing results from the last elections, she is considered to have intact electoral chances.
With her election, Swico would have a strong representative in the Federal Parliament, who consistently supports the concerns of the ICT industry. President Andreas Knöpfli is pleased with the nomination: "I support the political commitment of our CEO and hope for a positive election result. We can make good use of the reinforcement in Bern."
Judith Bellaiche succeeded Jean-Marc Hensch at Swico in May and has since acted with great commitment to the further development of the association. On her political goals, she says:
"Digitization needs a permanent place on the political agenda. I want to advocate for progressive framework conditions - this is about our innovation location! Our successful recycling system for digital devices is also very close to my heart and I want to promote and defend self-responsibility and voluntarism."
The National Council elections will be held on October 20, 2019.
