Claudia Herkert-Derungs becomes Head of Marketing & Education at Zurich Zoo
On November 1, 2022, Claudia Herkert-Derungs will take over the Marketing & Education department. She succeeds Markus Rege, who is taking early retirement.
– June 23, 2022
In her new role, Claudia Herkert-Derungs will be part of the management team and will report to Zoo Director Dr. Severin Dressen.
Claudia Herkert-Derungs is currently self-employed in the field of consulting and coaching in communication and marketing strategy for brands, products, organizations and transformation processes.
Before that, as a member of the management board, she held the position of Director of Marketing, Sales and PR at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz and held various marketing management positions at Kuoni Reisen AG for many years. Her further training in adult education rounds off her profile and makes her the perfect choice as Head of Marketing & Education at Zoo Zurich.
Fascination for the zoo
Claudia Herkert-Derungs is looking forward to her new tasks: «Ever since I first worked at Scuol Tourismus as a guest manager, I have been passionate about working in the service industry. Nothing has changed in this enthusiasm. Coupled with my personal fascination for Zurich Zoo, the excellent image and its worldwide commitment to nature conservation, it quickly became clear to me that this employer could be the right one for my next professional challenge.»
The previous Head of Marketing & Education, Markus Rege, is leaving Zurich Zoo after 14 years. He’s retiring. We are very grateful for his valuable work and his enormous commitment. But we won’t let Markus Rege go completely. He will continue to work as a fundraising consultant on a project basis.
