WHO
WE ARE
HELLO, I'M MICHAEL.
As a commercial mediator, I help organizations expand their networks, facilitate collaboration, and drive growth across Switzerland.
Raised in German-speaking Switzerland, 10 years ago I crossed the Röstigraben to live and work in the French-speaking region. In doing so, I have come to understand and appreciate the unique cultural differences that exist on both sides of the language border.
Management positions at Lidl, Nestlé and Migros have given me extensive experience in negotiation, business development and relationship management. This background allows me to relate to a variety of business situations, empathize with the parties involved, and quickly grasp complex issues.
Fluent in German, French and English, I am available remotely or on site, and have the skills and experience necessary to engage effectively across organizational levels.
