  "account": "Alexander Muhm, currently in charge of SBB Cargo, is widely regarded as the most qualified candidate to succeed CEO Vincent Ducrot. His sole drawback is that he hails from Austria. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) will be marking 125 years of existence in the coming year. Since its establishment as a state-owned corporation in 1902, the company has experienced both triumphs and setbacks: derailments, fatal accidents, power cuts, and financial crises. Yet, one constant has remained: Swiss people have always shouldered responsibility. Before Ducrot's retirement this coming autumn, SBB could see a foreign CEO for the first time in its history.",
  "summary": "Alexander Muhm, derzeit Leiter von SBB Cargo, gilt unter Bahnexperten als fähigster Kandidat für die Nachfolge des CEO Vincent Ducrot. Sein Manko: Er stammt aus Österreich.",
