Additionally, she is in charge of the company’s photo and video production.

Vera Grossmann holds a degree in sociology and media communication from the University of Basel, Switzerland.

The joint expertise of Kathrin Chudoba, Vera Grossmann and their teams will give new impetus to InterNations’ content and communication strategies and help the company set new standards in the field. The new department will also be the official home of the InterNations brand and drive the company’s efforts to position itself as a trusted companion on every step of the expat journey.

Malte Zeeck, Founder and Co-CEO of InterNations, says: “By creating these new roles and an additional seat on the management board for a key division of our organization, we are reacting to the increasingly intertwined digital conversations of our internal and external stakeholders in a more and more globalized world. Our integrated corporate communication strategy will inspire trust and identification among our members, the public and our employees as well.”

After the merge of all editorial and communication teams, the Content & Communications Department at InterNations now consists of 15 out of 100 employees overall. This ratio reflects InterNations’ emphasis on the creation and distribution of relevant, high quality content and genuine dialog with all its stakeholders.
