Oliver Bertschinger
Bio
With the creation of my own company Triple Eight Solutions AG in 2018, I fulfilled a lifelong dream and started to work as an independent consultant and trainer. My mission is to make companies and people as instantly and as sustainably as possible more successful.
My approach is simple. I take an outside view at companies, create some meaningful insights what could be improved and then – in close collaboration with my clients – apply my know-how, creativity, work-experience and network to their benefit.
My core competencies which are often linked, are corporate strategy, business development, marketing/ sponsorship/ communications, internationalization (export/import/investments), intercultural management and work productivity.
