Family man and YB fan Raymond is the new Senior Consultant

In which function do you work at linkyard and how will your work look like? 

I support our customers in the area of consulting as a senior, whereby I accompany the conception and realisation of IT and digitalisation projects. It is important to me to achieve the greatest customer benefit and satisfaction with contemporary and realistic solutions. 

In addition, it is also planned that I support linkyard with business development and account management tasks and can contribute to the growth of the company.

Describe your background.

I studied business administration at the University of Bern. At the beginning of my career, the focus was on business analysis and project management in the field of standard solutions in the industrial environment.

In 2001, I moved to the US and completed an MBA at New York University in 2006. Since then, I have held various leadership roles in line management and in the IT environment and have returned to Switzerland after 17 years in the US. 

In all these years I have remained true to my area of interest, the interface between organisation and IT, which ultimately led me to linkyard.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

Open-minded, curious, hard to get off balance, but never too proud to admit when I don't know something and someone else has a better solution and answer.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I read all kinds of things, spend a lot of time with my family, like to swim to protect my joints and back and am very interested in sports (Hopp YB and SCB).

Which came first, the hen or the egg?

The egg. 

The dinosaurs and their predecessors started the whole egg laying process as a good way to reproduce. The hen (birds) evolved from the pterosaurs and thus came into existence after the eggs.
