Prof. Dr. Peter Petrin is the new Rector of the HWZ
Prof. Dr. Peter Petrin took over from Prof. Dr. Jacques F. Bischoff as the new Rector of the HWZ Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich on January 3.
The change at the top of the HWZ Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich initiated a year ago has now taken place. Prof. Dr. Peter Petrin has taken up the position of Rector as successor to Prof. Dr. Jacques F. Bischoff.
Jacques F. Bischoff has led the HWZ since 2005, during which time the school has grown from around 1,000 students to more than 2,200. The significant expansion of the continuing education program was a major contributing factor. "After 12 years as rector, I am happy to step back a little," says Bischoff, who knows that his successor is in good hands: "With Prof. Dr. Peter Petrin, we have found an experienced and proven personality as his successor."
Peter Petrin (50) has successfully managed and developed the SIB Swiss Institute of Business Administration over the past ten years. He holds a doctorate in business administration, a licentiate in business administration from the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and several years of experience in various management positions at the AKAD Group (now Kalaidos). "It is my goal to successfully continue the excellent work of Jacques Bischoff. As a university with private sponsorship, I have the privilege of taking over a very special institution, the HWZ, which has successfully held its own in the market for 30 years," Petrin is pleased to say.
