Team
Luciano Ruggia (100 %)
Managing Director
In January 2020, I took over the management of AT Switzerland. My goal is to strengthen and better position AT with regard to the developments in the consumption of nicotine products as well as the structural changes that are taking place, especially at the legal level. Our country is still one of the laggards in terms of protection from smoking and the influence of the tobacco industry. There are very competent, committed people working both in the AT and in our network. I would like to lean on them to advance the cause and values of AT Switzerland.
Nicola Imseng (100%)
Communications Project Manager
As communications manager, I am responsible for the design and coordination of our products and the management of the online communication channels. I also edit, correct and process all kinds of articles and texts. The co-design and implementation of the new communication strategy is one of my other areas of activity.

Networking & Coordination Project Manager
I organise the Swiss association for Tobacco Control’s annual conference as well as the regional forums. I’m your contact person for any questions regarding coordination and networking.

My area of expertise is public affairs. In this context, I am in contact with our partner organisations, supporting them and coordinating our work.

The further development and management of Stopsmoking.ch is my job. As project manager, I coordinate the organizations involved as well as the service providers of the website. The aim of the project is to bring together helpful stop-smoking services on a national stop-smoking platform.
Benoît Perriard (100%)
As a doctor of psychology from the University of Fribourg, I work at AT on the psychological and behavioural aspects of nicotine consumption. I'm responsible for the stopsmoking.ch project and for a number of other activities within the organisation.
I'd like to promote a smoke-free life and greater respect for the freedom of non-smokers.
Adrian Schär (100 %)
Project Assistant
My main tasks are mainly related to the project Experiment Non-Smoking. I am the contact person for teachers and students, take registrations and cancellations and am responsible for dispatches and orders. Helping out with a national project is fun for me!
Kris Schürch (100%)
Knowledge Management Project Manager
Public health is severely affected by the consumption of tobacco and nicotine products. My task is to reduce this consumption by collecting, processing and distributing relevant knowledge. This processed knowledge will eventually be disseminated among relevant stakeholders in the form of evidence-based documents, such as factsheets and analytical reports.

I am responsible for accounting and personnel administration. My main tasks are the payment of invoices and the booking of all income and expenditures. In addition, I do the VAT settlements and all the work related to the annual accounts. I also take care of all administrative work related to wages and personnel.
