With a degree in electrical engineering from EPFL, Mr. Nobs has been Director General of Cremo AG since 1995, and a member of the Board of Directors of Groupe E since 2011.
Bern Executive Councillor Beatrice Simon-Jungi has represented the Canton of Bern on the BKW Board of Directors since her appointment to office as Finance Minister in June 2010. The Canton of Bern will now only delegate one representative to the BKW Board of Directors.
