Customer Journey
Holistic optimization of Customer Satisfaction
An excellent customer experience concept ensures that a customer has a positive experience throughout the buying, but also the service and caring process.
If a customer has had a positive experience during the buying process, there is a higher likelihood that they will remain loyal to a company and will buy from this company again and again.
A good customer experience concept takes into account all possible challenges that customers have during the buying process, minimizing the chances of complaints and failures.
When a customer is satisfied with a purchase and experience, they are more likely to recommend the company, the highest value in marketing.
An excellent customer experience concept can improve the efficiency of the company and gain valuable insights into the behaviour of customers. As a result, productivity increases, less time and money is required for customer retention and the effectiveness of marketing and sales strategies can be optimized.

Board Services
Independence and governance
-
To demonstrate a commitment for good corporate governance to families, owners, shareholders and any kind of investors, it should be ensured that boards contain an appropriate number of experienced, well educated, networked and in particular independent non-conflicted directors
-
Independence is key for effective corporate governance, any director employed by a service provider or advisor of any kind of vehicle cannot be truly independent and will find it difficult to avoid giving the impression of conflict of interest
-
Independent directors, managers or officers are typically not affiliated with any administration group, law firm, management company or any other service provider and therefore free from any potential conflict of interest
-
Pressures on governmental budgets across Europe has led to tax authorities reviewing and challenging cross-border structures to prove genuine substance
-
We are Swiss citizen, working permanently in Switzerland and having our family homes in Switzerland as well, thus without any claim to residency that could be questioned and therefore no risk of challenge on the Swiss substance
-
Having occupied executive, non-executive and various senior management roles in Switzerland but also all over the planet, we commit the appropriate amount of time to ensure good governance
