    After a creative break in 2023, I relaunched my career in 2024 by founding Switzerland's first AI Transformation Studio: CPLTS. Before I worked for more than 10 years as a Partner and Digital Strategist at Kuble, one of the leading digital agencies in Switzerland. In addition to my role as a Founder and Strategy Copilot, I regularly share my expertise as a lecturer, moderator and panelist.

    Digital Business

    In 2009, during the early days of social media, I co-founded an agency which specialized in this area. Since then, I'm always trying to be at the forefront of the digital shifts and trends which shape businesses (and societies).

    Artificial Intelligence

    The emergence of AI tools and systems is both exciting and challenging. I believe that more than 15 years of experience in the digital industry help me to be the right sparring partner (or copilot) to build up the human expertise which is still needed.

    Entrepreneurship

    I'm passionately starting, building and steering companies. Entrepreneurship is more than the work I do, it's a political statement as well in support of liberalism, accountability and self-determination.

    Board Memberships

    My professional roadmap for the coming years includes the objective to become a board member. Such engagements would perfectly reflect my expertise and values as an entrepreneur, digital thought leader and liberal citizen.
