CEO at Bitcoin Suisse AG

About

I'm an accomplished executive with extensive experience in transforming financial service companies through innovation, teamwork, and strategic leadership. Over more than a decade, I led the transformation of Vontobel Transaction Banking into Switzerland’s leading B2B provider, serving over 130 banks domestically and internationally. My remit covered the entire value chain — from Trading and Clearing to Product Development and core IT systems. Subsequently, I spearheaded the global distribution of Structured Products, establishing Vontobel as a market leader in digital B2B solutions through platforms like deritrade and Vontobel Electronic Trading Solutions. After 22 rewarding years at Vontobel, I transitioned to the role of COO at Bitcoin Suisse, Switzerland’s leading and most successful Crypto company. In September 2025, I was appointed CEO, entrusted with shaping the company’s long-term strategy, strengthening its market leadership, and guiding its transformation at the intersection of finance and technology. I hold an MBA from the University of Rochester and an EMBA from the University of Bern.
