Press release from Friday, 16 June 2023

Berlin. The international PDLN network has elected Natascha Thomas as its new vice president.

Natascha Thomas has been the deputy managing director of PMG Presse-Monitor since 2020, heading up the Sales, Marketing and Business Development areas. With a background in communication studies, the digitalisation expert drives innovation at PMG.

Thomas had the following to say following her election: “I’m looking forward to supporting and hopefully enhancing the successful work of PDLN over the next two years. Together with PDLN, I hope to further advance the digitalisation of international media monitoring and the marketing of the underlying content, as it opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities for all of us. We already use the enormous potential of foreign-language texts at PMG: The press database contains publications from close to 30 countries. In the future, we will be able to offer our German-speaking customers AI-based translations of this content, thanks to our subsidiary X-CAGO. I will be sharing our experiences in this area with the board on a regular basis so that all our partners in the network can benefit from it.”

Thomas takes over from Javier Olarte from CEDRO, Centro Español de Derechos Reprográficos, who has been elected as the new president of PDLN.
