Swisspreneur is a non-profit on a mission to promote and advance entrepreneurship in Switzerland. The organization was founded in 2016 by Alain Chuard and Christian Hirsig, with Christian as its host. 16 episodes in video format were produced, interviewing a wide scope of Swiss startup founders. I took over from Chris in 2018 and since then the episodes have been released in audio format only. We released 400+ podcast episodes and have become Switzerland’s largest business podcast.
We have also expanded our activities, organizing regular events like the Swiss Scaleup Cruise and invest in Swiss startups through the Swisspreneur syndicate. As host and managing director, I am leading our 20 people team and am responsible for sales and partner acquisitions as well as hosting the podcast.
I’ve been working at the Swiss software company Rentouch. As CEO of the company, I am leading Rentouch's short- and long-term strategy, set strategic goals and create and implement the company's vision and mission. I also close B2B deals with large agile companies from all over the world (Sweden, Finland, Japan, United States), including Fortune Top 10 companies with hundreds of billions in revenue.
Rentouch was acquired by Scaled Agile Inc. in 2023.

In addition to my online course, I also provide one-on-one coaching, where I can offer an individually-tailored solution for your specific needs. Click here for more information on that.
I learned early on that values are a crucial part of any company’s success. Therefore, I reflected on this topic a lot and defined my personal values below:
