Christian Mutschlechner joins Board at Congrex Switzerland

PCO Congrex Switzerland has appointed former director of the Vienna Convention Bureau, Christian Mutschlechner, to its Board of Directors. “We are extremely happy to have found the ideal person to extend our governing board with Christian Mutschlechner. He is one of the most well known persons with influence in our industry and his contribution to the meetings industry has been invaluable. We trust that his vast experience will help our company to continue our success story and to reach our ambitious goals,” said Julia Bicher, Managing Director.

Personal attitude

Christian Mutschlechner: “When acting board members contacted me and asked if I would be willing to bring in my long-standing experience in the industry I immediately agreed for three reasons: One as a Board member I am part of the overall strategic development of Congrex Switzerland and by that not involved in the day-to-day business but providing strategic thinking and help. Number two was more a sentimental one. I started my career in the meetings industry as a PCO and it is a nice moment to come back to my initial roots but on a different level. Finally, Congrex Switzerland is known for its high-quality service level. This absolutely matches my personal attitude, because in a service industry the clients should be in the centre of attention.”

New role

Christian Mutschlechner described his new role as “to help the other Board members to better understand the meetings industry and how this business changes, basically every day. Secondly, do what a member of a Board of Directors needs to do, control, advise and sometimes help the leadership of the company.”
