Over the weekend, Pierre Veya died of an unfortunately fulminant cancer.
Dear subscribers and readers,
You may already have learned this from other sources, but over the weekend Pierre Veya passed away as a result of an unfortunately fulminant cancer.
It is rather rare that I do not really know what to write. But last night, as messages piled up on my phone and in my inbox, my page remained blank for a long time.
What can one write about this tragedy, other than that it is terrible primarily for his family, but also for our profession: journalism. I believe everyone will agree that Pierre was a great journalist. Whether through his passion or his convictions, he knew how to defend our profession despite the headwinds.
His passing is all the more painful because he once again had that feeling of building something with SwissPowerShift, of enriching society by creating this new media. And our initial results, as well as your encouraging feedback, were an enormous source of motivation and joy during those weeks when Pierre was fighting his cancer.
The last time I saw him, without giving up his determination to fight the disease, Pierre used that word I hate: "legacy."
For the end-of-year holidays, we had planned to take a break from December 20 to January 6. Please know that I will do everything possible to ensure SwissPowerShift is back when we resume and that this last project championed by Pierre will be the legacy he leaves to our profession.
Thank you again for all your messages and your expressions of support.
Olivier Wurlod
