Professional background

Volker Piesczek looks back on 25 years of journalistic experience in TV and radio. After his career as a professional footballer, he completed his training as a presenter and TV journalist in the Ran sports editorial department of Sat 1 in Germany. There he also worked for Premiere (now SKY), DSF plus and RTL 2. In Austria, he presented major entertainment formats such as "Expedition Robinson" for ORF or worked as a satellite reporter for various news formats.

At ATV, Volker Piesczek was responsible for the football programme for a total of seven years before his interest in news and politics led him to different newsrooms. As an anchor, the two-time Rome Prize winner presented news programmes for Pro 7 Austria, Puls4 and Oe24 TV.

However, the native of Lower Austria was not only successful in front of the camera, but also behind it: He conceived and realised numerous documentaries, among others about the gas dispute between Ukraine and Russia in the winter of 2008/2009 (Energiestadt Güssing), for which he was awarded the Eurosolar Prize.

He likes to pass on his many years of television experience in training courses, among others to students as a guest lecturer at the Vienna University of Applied Sciences. He has been working for Intomedia for more than 10 years.
