FAQ
Lobbying is the professional introduction of facts and interests into the political process. My work is based on transparency and pragmatic politics, with the aim of fostering a legitimate and effective dialogue between business and politics in Switzerland and internationally.
I advise international companies, associations, and foundations in complex markets—particularly in the energy, finance, and commodities trading sectors. My clients value my experience and my direct access to decision-makers.
You will be working directly with me. My advantage is that I have a dual perspective: as a former ministerial advisor, I know the political system from the inside, and as a lobbyist, I know it from the outside.
My areas of expertise include energy policy, financial market regulation, commodities trading, and the analysis of geopolitical risks. I am active at the cantonal, national, and international levels.
I provide personalized and exclusive consulting services. For specific legal or communications-related issues, I draw on a well-established network of experts, while always maintaining overall strategic control.
That depends on the scope and duration of the project. I work on both an hourly basis and under retainer agreements. For an initial assessment, please contact me for a commitment-free consultation.
I provide consulting services in German, English, and French. My network spans Switzerland, other European countries, Central Asia, and international organizations (EU, IMF, World Bank, EBRD). I assist clients both with entering the Swiss market and with their global positioning.
Opinion & Perspective
Economic policy and regulation do not take place in a vacuum, but within the context of current events.
For the last few decades, political risk was something for nerds. While knowing about it was interesting, it was largely irrelevant. That is no longer the case.

One of the best pieces I have read about LLMs and AI in general.
The institutional electricity agreement with the EU is more than just a technical matter — it will determine Switzerland’s security of supply over the next decade. The negotiations require economic clarity, not political symbolism.
At the commodities symposium in Geneva, it became clear that Switzerland remains the most important trading hub, but sanctions regimes and ESG requirements are fundamentally changing the playing field. Presentation and panel discussion on regulatory risks.
Basel IV has been adopted, but its implementation in Switzerland is still in its early stages. For medium-sized banks, the key question is: how can capital be deployed efficiently without restricting lending to small and medium-sized enterprises?
The digital franc is more than just a technical issue. How a central bank currency is designed — whether wholesale or retail, anonymous or traceable — will determine sovereignty, privacy and competition within the Swiss financial centre.
