Raphael Wyniger brings with him a great deal of know-how from the hospitality and event industry. He is familiar with the challenges and requirements facing Basel as an exhibition destination and, with his knowledge and experience, can make an outstanding contribution to the future development of MCH Group. The canton of Basel-Stadt is entitled to two seats on the MCH Group's Board of Directors: in addition to the newly delegated Raphael Wyniger, this continues to be the financial expert Dr. Dagmar Maria Kamber Borens.
