Dr Urs Hofmann was a member of the Cantonal Council of Aargau from 2009 until the end of 2020. A doctor of law, he previously worked as a lawyer and notary at his own law firm in Aarau.
Urs Hofmann held various political offices before being elected to the Aargau Cantonal Council. He served as a member of the National Council from 1999 to 2009. In that capacity, he was a member of the Legal Affairs Committee, the Finance Committee and the Finance Delegation of the Federal Assembly, which he twice chaired for a one-year term.

Werner Möckli, Head SIX Terravis Ltd, said:
“Dr Hofmann is ideally suited to the role of independent representative on the Board of Directors, and we are delighted to welcome him on board. As a notary and lawyer, he strengthens the company and forges links with the federal government and the cantons – our most important business partners. The broad experience of Stephan Hänseler as our new Chairman and Daniel Schmucki as our new Board member also makes them ideal additions to SIX Terravis Ltd.”
