Today, in a fast changing and globalizing world, the need to create platforms of exchange between all stakeholders, all business sectors and all regions becomes crucially important. The orchestration of such platforms, be it events or other types of exchange, needs to  offer unique value to all people involved and be at the highest level of quality in networking, content and execution. Such platforms become extremely powerful vectors for organizations that want to (re)-position themselves, to extend their networks, to generate action and impact.

This requires very specific skills and experiences that André Schneider has been able to develop during his career: André Schneider, after having been a professional musician in major classical orchestras, developed his first experiences when IBM decided to go into services and asked him to create an IT consulting practice in Geneva, working throughout Europe; he then expanded his experience joining the World Economic Forum and was instrumental during his 12 years in creating the world’s leading global multi-stakeholder platform and finally globalizing this concept by expanding it around the world, with special emphasis on China and the Middle East. With his advisory, André has been quickly developing projects and thought leadership in many important issues around sustainable development, like renewable energies, sustainable competitiveness, sustainable mobility, sustainable infrastructure grading and financing and social banking. André is also the chairman of World Climate Ltd, the world’s leading media and events platform to accelerate the development of the global green economy; Chairman of equal-salary, providing a certification of equal compensation for women and men; and Vice-Chairman of Global Infrastructure Basel, the sustainable infrastructure forum and summit. On August 1, 2013, André has joined EPFL, as Vice-President for Planning and Logistics.

André Schneider Global Advisory SA will make these unique experiences available to companies, NGOs, governments, and international organizations.
