Urs J. Hafner

Urs J. Hafner supports boards of directors, CEOs and executive management teams when companies are facing transformation, growth challenges or a turnaround. He brings over 30 years’ leadership experience to the table, 25 of which were spent in global technology groups such as Microsoft and SAP – and combines a deep understanding of digital transformation with a very clear, implementation-focused approach. His focus lies on sustainable growth and scaling new business models. He attaches particular importance to connecting business, technology and the relevant stakeholders – including in financial services, manufacturing, CEA, mining and infrastructure construction. As an entrepreneur, he also brings practical experience from consultancy, interim management and high-stakes negotiations. Decision-makers value him as a sparring partner who quickly makes sense of complex situations, distils strategies to their essence and consistently translates them into results. He is aided in this by his high level of credibility, international negotiation experience and a clear commitment to responsible, forward-looking business practices. Technology is a trailblazer, but it is crucial that people use it wisely.
