Information and Explanation of the Issuer to this announcement:
EXPLANATION SECTION
Gregor Doser brings over two decades of experience in the media and digital industries. He began his career at SRG SSR idée suisse, where he led national marketing services at Publisuisse and was responsible for market research and pricing of public television offerings. He then moved to GroupM, the media agency network of the WPP Group, where he played a key role in building up the company’s presence in Switzerland as Trading Director.
From 2011, Gregor Doser served as Industry Leader and member of the executive board at Google Switzerland. In this capacity, he managed strategic client relationships in the retail, telecommunications, media, and agency sectors, and was instrumental in building the YouTube market in Switzerland. After 13 years at Google, he is now joining naoo to help drive the platform’s development in Switzerland and across the DACH region. In addition, he will take over responsibility for sales and strategic client relations at Kingfluencers, the influencer agency recently acquired by naoo.
“naoo reminds me of the moment we launched YouTube in Switzerland,” says Doser. “It’s a platform that excites, connects, and delivers real value. What convinced me most is that naoo offers capabilities I haven’t seen elsewhere: users are rewarded not only for their content, but also for their activity and interaction. The combination of digital reach, local offers, and playful incentives creates a whole new level of user engagement. naoo isn’t driven by likes – it’s about genuine participation. My goal is to establish naoo as the new home for creative content, local discovery, and meaningful interaction – developed in Switzerland, for Switzerland and beyond.”
At naoo, Doser will be responsible for steering strategic market development and reinforcing the platform’s positioning as an innovative and trusted social media network. His role includes building and managing key customer relationships, developing go-to-market strategies, launching targeted growth initiatives, and fostering connections with key stakeholders from business, media, agencies, and academia. With his deep experience, he will provide valuable input to the ongoing evolution of naoo’s product strategy and brand perception – with the goal of embedding naoo as an integral part of users’ digital lives.
“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Gregor Doser to naoo,” says Dr. Thomas Wolfensberger, Founder and Anchor Shareholder of naoo AG. “His deep understanding of the Swiss market and his passion for experience-driven platforms make him the ideal person to drive naoo’s further growth. With his strategic mindset and strong network, he will open doors and unlock opportunities far beyond what we can currently imagine – just as he significantly contributed to YouTube’s success story in Switzerland. At Kingfluencers, he will also play a key role in strategic matters and the management of our key clients.”
