Managing Director
Dear Business Partners,
I live in the Appenzell region, am happily married, and the father of two lovely and lively boys. I am pleased to have recently taken on the role of Managing Director at Säntis Analytical AG. For me, this is more than just a professional task – it is a personal journey that brings me back to my roots.
As I walk through the modern facilities of the company today, I vividly remember helping fill capsules in the family basement during the early days of the company, as a teenager. The spirit from back then – achieving great things with simple means – continues to inspire me to this day.
I bring with me eight years of management experience in the railway industry, during which I was responsible for around 200 employees across various areas of the supply chain as well as digitalization projects – from procurement and logistics to production planning, shipping, and customs processing. During this time, I gained extensive leadership and project experience in an international, complex, and highly customized environment, including assignments in several countries, such as the United States. My focus has always been on optimizing processes, building high-performance teams, and successfully implementing strategic goals in a dynamic setting.
This experience is built on a technical education combined with advanced business management training.
Over the past 20 years, I have primarily worked in the mechanical engineering and plant construction sectors – industries characterized by high complexity, international scope, and tailored customer solutions. During this time, I have been able to build many bridges: between technology and execution, between customer needs and internal planning – always with the aim of creating practical and sustainable solutions.
What excites me about Säntis Analytical AG is the combination of down-to-earth values and bold innovation. We stand for personal, tailored solutions – for people, not just markets. This mindset is our foundation, our strength. Our flexibility, technical expertise, and collaborative approach make us a reliable and creative partner for laboratories and analytical institutions.
My vision for the future: We aim to further expand our technical capabilities, open up new areas of expertise, and make even greater use of team synergies. Our goal is to offer our customers even better, more comprehensive service from a single source – reliable, competent, and with a clear focus on your specific requirements.
In my personal life, I find balance through biking, hiking, and skiing – preferably with my family and in the mountains. That’s where I recharge, gain clarity, and often find new perspectives. That’s also how I envision working with you: honest, dynamic, as equals, and with a shared passion for development.
I look forward to many exciting encounters and to bringing both new and existing partnerships to life.
