The Theater und Orchester Biel Solothurn has a new Administrative Director, Carole Trousseau-Ballif, as of the start of the 2013/14 season. She takes over from Marcel Falk, who is leaving the foundation at the end of the 2012/13 season to join kammerorchesterbasel.
Carole Trousseau-Ballif is a trained opera singer and physicist. She studied at the Cologne University of Music and at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne. She then worked for several years as a consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers/IBM in Düsseldorf and as Head of Operational Risk Management at PostFinance in Berne.
Ms. Trousseau-Ballif currently works at the Federal Statistical Office in Neuchâtel, where she has been working as head of production for the business census since 2007. She also holds a Master of Business Administration degree from the HEC of the University of Lausanne.
With the appointment of the Administrative Director, the new TOBS management team is complete with the exception of the Head of Concerts. The Board of Trustees "is delighted that a quick solution with a convincing personality has been found for this important position in the newly established foundation". This will enable a smooth transition.
