Between 2004 and 2006 he worked on the station’s relaunch, returning it to the no. 1 position in Vienna. From 2000 to 2003 he was managing director of Radio Media Consulting (RMC) and responsible for organising the business side of the Kronehit radio stations throughout Austria as well as the Hit FM stations in Lower Austria. Between 2001 and 2003 Bernd was managing and programming director for Kronehit, the first Austria-wide private radio station, making it one of the most successful private radio stations in Austria to this day. In 2003 he founded Sebor Media GmbH, a communication agency with a focus on media coaching for politicians and on business communication training seminars for senior business executives. Since 2015 Bernd has worked as a manager and trainer for Intomedia, establishing and heading the Intomedia business unit; since 2016 he has headed the Intomedia sales department.
