ORF Foundation Council seeks new member following resignation

The Austrian Ministry of Culture and Media has opened applications for a new member of the ORF Foundation Council following the resignation of deputy chairman Gregor Schütze. Schütze stepped down on August 11, citing a desire to focus on his professional business interests. His departure follows recent scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest involving several council members and their activities in the PR industry, though these allegations remain unconfirmed.

In separate corporate news, the Trenkwalder Group AG has appointed Björn Elting as its new Chief Technology Officer. Elting, who previously spent 14 years at BCG Platinion, will lead the group’s technology agenda, focusing on the development of AI-based solutions and the expansion of its European workforce platform.
