Board of Directors

Non-executive board membership. Governance oversight, strategic counsel, and the kind of operational depth that means I actually read every document before the meeting.

05

Migration & Relocation

Work permits, cantonal migration authorities, expat packages, relocation logistics, and cross-border employment. The stuff that takes 6 months if you don't know the system.

06

Tax & Compliance

Swiss tax optimization, tax rulings, AHV/BVG compliance, multi-jurisdictional structuring, and making sure your setup survives an audit.

Clients

Built for builders.

If you're here, you probably fall into one of these.

Web3 & Crypto

Token launches, distributed teams, DAO-adjacent structures, and the regulatory chaos that comes with building at the frontier. Been there, scaled that.

Tech Startups in CH

You've raised capital and need to set up properly in Switzerland. Entity, team, payroll, compliance. Done right from day one so you can focus on product.

Need Board Members

Looking for a Board Member / Director who reads every document, asks the hard questions, and brings operational depth, not just a name on the register.

Process

How it works.

No 40-page proposals. No committees. Here's how we go from call to impact.

Discovery

30-minute call. Tell me where you are, where you need to be, and what's broken. No pitch decks.

Scope & Terms

Clear scope, clear pricing, clear timeline. Board mandate, project, or retainer, whatever fits.

Execute

Hands-on delivery. I don't delegate to juniors. You get me, my network, and 15 years of pattern recognition.

Ongoing or Done

Board mandates are ongoing. Projects end. Either way you'll have systems that work without me.

Investment

Transparent from day one.

No surprise invoices. No hidden fees. Here's what engagements typically look like.

Thoughts

What's on my mind.

Notes, reading lists, and unfiltered takes. No ghostwriter.

Thought

Token compensation is broken. Here's why

Most Web3 companies treat token comp like equity but forget the volatility, the tax events on vesting, and the employee who just wants to pay rent in Zürich.

Brain Dump

Things I wish someone told me before my first board seat

You're not there to be liked. You're there to ask the questions nobody else will. And get D&O insurance before you sign anything.

Thought

Setting up in Switzerland is not what you think

Everyone sees low taxes. Nobody talks about the cantonal labyrinth, migration timelines, or how BVG catches founders off guard. Budget 3× what you expect.
