For Owners & Directors
Hospitality businesses in Swiss mountain regions face increasing complexity — from navigating operational challenges and seasonality to managing ownership transitions and aligning stakeholders.
Whether you’re running a family-owned hotel, chairing a board, or planning a generational handover, I support you as an experienced and independent advisor with a deep understanding of both operations and governance in the leisure hospitality sector.
Typical priorities I help address:
1
Strategic Sparring & Business Planning
Acting as a trusted strategic sparring partner for owners and boards — challenging established approaches where they may no longer reflect today’s market realities. I support the development of clear, forward-looking strategies that build on your strengths while embracing innovation and digital opportunities. Where needed, I can help craft full business plans or work on selected strategic elements.
3
Succession & Ownership Transition
Support in preparing for generational succession, management handovers, or ownership changes — whether within the family or through an external sale. I support in defining clear roles and expectations — so the transition is smooth, relationships stay intact, and the business remains focused on operations during this period. Where a transaction is involved, I also help build the right team of external experts to support the due diligence and execution process.
5
Preparation for Sale or Capital Raising
Helping owners in preparing their hospitality business for an external investment, refinancing, or potential sale. This includes strategic positioning, reviewing the business plan, and supporting the development of a clear and convincing business case for investors or banks. Where a formal valuation or due diligence is required, I collaborate with trusted financial institutions to support the process.
2
Operational Performance Reviews
Evaluation of cost structures, product mix, revenue management strategies — with a focus on improving profitability and identifying untapped potential. I provide clear, practical insights — and, where needed, involve specialist partners for deeper financial audits.
4
Crisis Management & Turnaround Support
Structured support in navigating critical phases — whether caused by leadership challenges, declining performance, or internal misalignment. My role is hands-on and focused: identifying root causes, stabilising the business, and guiding owners through necessary changes. Where needed, I can step in more actively to navigate the business through transition. I bring structure, calm, and accountability when it matters most.
All services are delivered independently and tailored to your situation — with access to a trusted network of financial, legal, and operational specialists where needed.
