The new Swiss Post CEO: Pascal Grieder

After a meticulous and broad-based search, the Swiss Post Board of Directors has appointed Dr Pascal Grieder as the new CEO of the company. Pascal Grieder brings many years of management experience from the Swiss digital economy to Swiss Post. He holds a PhD in engineering from ETH and can look back on an impressive career with a wide range of professional positions. Among other things, he led Salt Mobile AG as CEO from 2018 to 2023 and successfully developed the company with an emphasis on innovation and customer focus. Previously, Pascal Grieder worked for McKinsey & Company. Born in Basel, he is currently a member of the Management Board at 1&1 Telecommunications SE, Germany, responsible for sales and product management.

“Pascal Grieder combines strategic thinking with operational resolve. With his entrepreneurial vision, his activity in Switzerland, his customer focus and values as a leader, he is the right CEO for a modern Swiss Post. Our goal: to continue financing a strong, modern public service from our own resources. By focusing on people and their real needs, Swiss Post will remain relevant and financially healthy in the future. I‘m delighted that we've been able to recruit Pascal Grieder for Swiss Post”, says Christian Levrat, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The 48-year-old from Basel is married, has three children and lives in the Canton of Vaud. He perfectly complements the strong Executive Management team.

"Swiss Post is and will remain unique. It represents reliability, a strong and customer-centric public service and innovation – values that are very important to me and that I will stand up for,” says Pascal Grieder.

Until he officially takes up his role on 1 November 2025, Alex Glanzmann will continue to lead Swiss Post together with Executive Management.
