Strategy, technology and execution, one point of accountability.
Strategic leadership and a sound understanding of technology come together in one role. I have led a FINMA-regulated asset manager as CEO, carried COO and board responsibility in an international family office holding, and worked across various family offices. As co-founder of an IT company, I know technology from building it, not just from overseeing it. This combination is exactly what I offer family offices, regulated financial institutions and technology-driven SMEs.
About
Led, owned, built.
I founded INITCON (Schweiz) in 2007. Across more than 25 years of operational leadership, I have carried responsibility at executive level in regulated financial institutions, international holdings and technology companies.
As CEO, I led a FINMA-regulated asset manager. In an international family office holding I held responsibility as COO and board member across five locations. As co-founder, I built an IT services company and delivered more than a hundred transformation projects in competition with global technology providers.
Today I work with boards and executive teams on digital transformation, cybersecurity, AI, governance and regulatory change. I combine strategic leadership with technical depth and the responsibility of having carried both myself.

Information for boards and executive teams
ISO/IEC 27090: What the new AI security standard delivers and where it needs the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The new standard describes twelve ways to compromise an AI system. What it gives the board, and where the NIST Cybersecurity Framework fills the gaps.
Open source in the boardroom: How exposed are our systems?
Around 70 per cent of websites run on PHP, maintained by a foundation with one full-time employee. What this dependency means for the board.
Cybersecurity in the boardroom: we know the risk, yet we wait for the breach.
The swissVR Monitor II/2026 shows more attacks and less reporting to the board. Why boards know the risk and still act only once the damage has occurred.
Which working hours will clients still pay for?
By 2035, 54 per cent of working hours in the United States could be automated. What does that mean for business models that sell services by the hour?
SightLine
The Cyber Situation Report
With SightLine I provide boards of directors and executive management with a curated information service. The cyber situation report tracks the Swiss threat picture: the weekly NCSC reporting statistics, ransomware cases and assessed briefings on current threats, incidents and vulnerabilities. Every briefing answers three questions: what happened, why it matters for oversight, and which questions the board should now put to executive management.
Weekly reports received by the NCSC, last 52 weeks
Report categories in the current week
Latest ransomware cases in Switzerland
Sources: NCSC reporting statistics and ransomware.live; publicly reported or visible activity only. Live data from the current situation report.
Technology Situation Report
New obligations, supervisory practice and legislation on AI, cybersecurity and data protection. The items come from the Swiss Confederation, FINMA, Parliament and EU authorities and are published unchanged.
