Your senior executive on the ground in Switzerland - without the full-time hire
I help foreign entrepreneurs, international companies, investors, and PE / Family Office portfolio businesses establish, run, and scale their Swiss entity - part-time, on-demand, on a clearly defined mandate. And I lead your expansion and connect you into ecosystems across Switzerland, the DACH region, and Central & Eastern Europe CEE
Connecting clients worldwide to Switzerland - and bridging Switzerland & CEE
Expanding into Switzerland is a strategic move
Execution on the ground is where it gets complicated
A full-time Country Manager is a major annual commitment before you know if the structure works. Too much, too early - and recruiting takes months you don't have.
Remote advisors and fly-in consultants can't attend local authority meetings, manage staff on the ground, or build the trusted relationships that open doors in Switzerland.
Swiss incorporation, cantonal authorities, compliance, banking relationships - the operational specifics are non-trivial and costly to navigate without local experience.
You need someone in place now - not in three months after a search process. Speed of execution determines whether your market entry builds momentum or stalls.
Senior executive leadership, structured as a service
I step in as your Fractional Country Manager or Interim Executive in Switzerland - where advice alone ends and hands-on execution is required - from incorporation to day-to-day operations, scaling the business, building up the organization and administrations until your own team and structures are self-sufficient.
Acting executive of your Swiss entity from establishment through growth - operational leadership, team build-out, and day-to-day management, for months up to 2+ years.
Board-level support, governance guidance, and strategic sparring for founders, leadership teams, and entities operating in Switzerland.
Market orientation, entry strategy, location strategy, legal-structure planning, incorporation, and practical support through the entire set-up process.
Facilitating communication, compliance, and cooperation with Swiss authorities, institutions, and key stakeholders for a successful market integration.
Swiss-side transparency for international shareholders, fund managers, and boards, roadshows, conferences - DAX / NYSE investor-relations standards, CIRO certified.
End-to-end project and transaction execution for companies, PE firms and Family Offices - from due diligence through post-merger integration and exit planning, across Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the EU.
Market scouting, entry strategy, local partner scouting, intercultural coordination, and interim leadership on the ground - with local experts and Investment Promotion Agencies.
Connecting you to industries, experts, associations, chambers of commerce, and investor ecosystems across Switzerland, DACH, and CEE - including innovation and technology transfer.
Built for international entrepreneurs and investors moving fast
International and non-Swiss entrepreneurs establishing their Swiss corporations and entities - needing a senior local executive, not just a registered agent.
Companies and investors from the US, UK, and beyond entering the Swiss market or building their European hub - needing execution, not just advice.
Funds and family offices whose portfolio companies need reliable Swiss-side leadership and cross-border M&A execution - without adding headcount complexity.
Post-funding companies with a Swiss nexus, and businesses in post-M&A or carve-out transition requiring bridge leadership - available immediately.
Simple to start - Clean to end
We establish whether there is a fit, what you need, and how quickly. No preparation required on your end.
A clean professional-services contract - not employment. Defined scope, milestones, and a clear exit point from the start.
The engagement starts within days of signing. I hit the ground running - no lengthy onboarding, no ramp-up time.
Three ways to work together
- Strategic guidance and senior advisory
- Reviews and regulatory liaison

All engagements are structured as professional service agreements - engagement length typically 6 months to 2 years, with a clearly defined exit point.
