Connecting the dots – since 2005

Who
we are

We are enablers and problem-solvers driven by context, content, and impact: eight strong, independent owner-partners working side-by-side with clients and building bridges across stakeholder groups. We have broad consulting, executive, and media experience and enjoy excellent networks − in Switzerland as well as internationally.

Who we are

How
we work

Working with us means engaging at eye level, never losing sight of objectives and requirements. We bring an entrepreneurial mindset, are fully invested, personable, and no-nonsense. No matter how turbulent the situation, we stay calm, focused, and low-profile. Discretion is in our DNA.

How we work

What
we do

We advise end-to-end, support hands-on, and are always centered on results. We unravel complexity, connect the dots, listen, and ask questions others may not ask. So we understand what’s at stake in order to engage, challenge, and offer fresh perspectives.
