Philosophy is the discipline that since ancient times has sought to unravel the mysteries that surround our lives, our world and the reasons for our existence. Before we knew the sciences, mankind had already tried to answer these complex questions.

Back in Switzerland, M&A consulting then developed into its own specialty area, which I was happy to help build up.
