GENEVA, Switzerland – Michael Møller, a Danish national with 30 years of experience working at the United Nations, has become the official, 14th Director General of the UN Office at Geneva. The announcement was made today 30 June, by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Møller is a familiar face to those carrying business with the UN in Geneva.

Most recently, Møller welcomed several leaders to Geneva during the consultations on Yemen. Earlier, Møller welcomed the President of France and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

Møller is well known among the Twitter International Geneva crowd for developing a social media campaign aimed to raise awareness of the impact UN advocacy in Geneva has on people’s lives everywhere.
