Shape tomorrow’s future today.

With enthusiasm and innovation.

I have led Schnydär since 2011. Since then, more companies, mandates and projects have followed. I am interested in what happens when creativity, technology and responsibility come together.

Change does not start with technology.

What drives me.

Entrepreneurship from experience.

I grew up in a Valais family business and witnessed how work, markets and responsibility change – and how illuminated signs and vehicle lettering became a creative business partner.

I am not interested in whichever trend is loudest. I am interested in what actually moves a company forward, and in the roles people, creativity and technology play.

What guides me

Convictions that last.

01 / 03

People first.

Strategy must happen bottom-up, otherwise it will never be truly lived as culture.

Personal
02 / 03

Values as the basis of the brand.

LEADERSHIP IS THE HUMAN TRANSLATION OF THE BRAND INTO VALUES, BEHAVIOUR AND CULTURE.

Considered
03 / 03

Energy for change.

A good idea becomes valuable when it inspires people and makes progress possible.

Work can be serious. But never lifeless.

A good conversation still costs nothing.
