The cantonal government of Aargau has appointed Daniel Mollet as Secretary General of the Department of Education, Culture and Sport. He succeeds Andreas Schächtele, who has accepted a new challenge in his home region.
Mollet was Secretary of the Board of Directors and media spokesman for Schweizerische Volksbank and was largely responsible for the transformation of the financial institution from a cooperative to a public limited company.
He then spent three years as Head of Corporate Communications at Credit Suisse, where his responsibilities included managing communications for the bank's reorganization. Finally, he moved to Swiss Post as Head of Communications and member of the extended Group Executive Board.
Mollet was heavily involved in the introduction of the new postal legislation. He left Swiss Post after twelve years. In the meantime, he has taken on various consultancy mandates in the areas of communication and governance.
Daniel Mollet will take up his new position as Secretary General in the Department of Education, Culture and Sport of the Canton of Aargau on April 8, 2013.
