Guest speakers
Inspiring the future
The majority of your courses throughout the year incorporate distinguished guest speakers who add invaluable insights to the topics and case studies you are discussing. Business leaders offer real-world learning by giving an overview of their company and industry, describing their career progress and the challenges they have faced, and by offering advice and tips on current business issues. See below a sample of our guest speakers.
CEO of Swisscom
Christoph Aeschlimann is the Head of Swisscom (Switzerland) Ltd and CEO of Swisscom Ltd, bringing exceptional IT, management, and market experience to the telecommunications industry.
With a degree in computer science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and an MBA from McGill University, he has a deep understanding of the network and infrastructure sector.
Since taking on his role in June 2022, Christoph has continued to drive Swisscom forward, ensuring that the company remains at the forefront of the industry.
Founding Partner Cherry Ventures
Having a wealth of experience in the world of startups, Filip Dames is a force to be reckoned with. He founded a proto-NFT marketplace in 2008 and the following year went on to be part of the founding team of the popular online retailer where he was the Chief Business Development Officer.
These experiences have undoubtedly informed his strategy with Cherry Ventures, a Berlin-based seed fund that has seen a string of successes under his leadership.
It’s no surprise that he was recently named German Start-up Investor of the Year by the German Start-up Association, and in 2022, he made his debut on Forbes’ Midas List Europe, solidifying his reputation as one of the most influential figures in the tech industry.
