Roger François Philippe de Weck (born 17 October 1953) is a Swiss journalist, publicist and executive.

Life

He is a son of former Swiss Bank Corporation president Philippe de Weck and a prominent member of the De Weck family.

From 1982 to 1993, de Weck worked as reporter for German weekly Die Zeit. From 1993 to 1997 he worked as editor-in-chief for Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger and from 1998 as editor-in-chief for Die Zeit. From 2001 to 2010 he worked as a free journalist for different newspapers.

De Weck later served as CEO of Swiss Radio and Television from 2011 to 2017.
