Team and organisation

SUISA is organised as a co-operative structured in three divisions. "Operations" takes care of SUISA's day-to-day operations, its members and clients. "Regulations" is responsible for the legal basis such as the tariffs and the distribution rules. "Services" is responsible for administration and organisation - this includes, for example, communication, IT, finance and human resources. 

Executive Committee

A three-member Executive Committee is responsible for the operational management and further development of our business activities. To this end, it works closely with the different Board Committees. The Executive Committee is elected by the Board of Directors of the co-ooperative.
