CEO - Founding Partner - M&A / Real Estate / Wealth

The Group We are an independent advisory group structured around three complementary verticals, positioned in high-value markets with a selective and confidential approach. M&A: Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory. A new-generation firm specializing in the small & lower mid-cap segment: technical, technology, industrial and services businesses. We support executives and shareholders in their divestitures, acquisitions and build-up operations, with an approach centered on structuring, targeted exposure and disciplined execution. Real Estate & Tangible Assets. Advisory and transactions on assets with strong strategic value: investment real estate, commercial property, tangible assets and off-market operations, serving entrepreneurs, investors and wealth structures. Wealth: Asset & Capital Structuring. Wealth engineering, holding structuring, long-term allocation and capital organization, for executives, entrepreneurs and investors. Our DNA: rigor and discretion, selectivity in both deals and partners, long-term relationships built on trust, a methodology inspired by premium advisory standards, and absolute confidentiality, without intrusive commercial outreach. The Role As part of our international development, we are seeking a Partner capable of founding, structuring and leading our Switzerland office. The office can be established in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Zug, Bern, Lugano, St. Gallen or any other market where you already hold a genuine network. We build around the partner, not around a postcode. Switzerland is a market of exceptional density: a highly specialized industrial and technical SME base facing succession, one of the world's leading concentrations of private wealth and family offices, and a holding and structuring environment that speaks directly to our third vertical. Discretion is not a differentiator here, it is the entry ticket. This is not a representative position, but an entrepreneurial mandate: you drive the Group's development across your territory, cultivate relationships with executives and investors in the region, and build your own team as the office scales. Key Responsibilities

• Establish and develop the Switzerland office across the Group's three verticals
• Represent the Group with executives, entrepreneurs, investors, family offices and wealth structures
• Identify and initiate opportunities in M&A, strategic real estate and wealth structuring
• Qualify deals and coordinate their handling with specialized internal teams
• Build relationships within the Swiss ecosystem (cantonal and private banks, independent asset managers, funds, fiduciaries, audit and legal practices, referral partners) and with the international investor community active in the market
• Recruit and progressively structure a local team
• Act as a trusted advisor, not a conventional commercial intermediary

Profile Sought Above all, we are looking for a posture and a network, rather than a standard CV.

• Senior experience in M&A, corporate finance, banking, real estate, wealth management or corporate leadership
• An active, qualified network of decision-makers, entrepreneurs or investors in Switzerland
• Ideally a strong understanding of Swiss SME ownership and succession dynamics, commercial and investment real estate, holding and wealth structuring, and inbound and outbound cross-border capital flows. Command of German, French or Italian according to your region is a significant asset, business-level English valuable for coordination with the Group
• High personal credibility and ease in confidential, high-stakes environments
• Entrepreneurial mindset, autonomy and a strong sense of responsibility
• The ambition to build a lasting structure, rather than occupy a simple deal-sourcing role

Collaboration Model

• Founding Office Partner status, with equity participation in the local entity
• Capital contribution at entry, on a structure-partner model: you co-own your office, you are not an employee of the Group
• Compensation entirely variable, indexed to the actual success of operations, with no fixed component
• No income ceiling
• Access to an established structure, a brand, a methodology and a pipeline of qualified deals
• Full autonomy to structure your territory, recruit and build your team
• Integration into a discreet, selective and international advisory ecosystem
