Daniel Kertesz – Family Business Advisor

Born and raised in Zurich, I have traveled a lot since my early youth and was allowed to get to know different people, countries and cultures.

University and management experience

After my studies (economics, political science, and history), I spent my first professional years building up a German company in the electrical industry. Back in Switzerland, I was gradually entrusted with the responsibility of my parents’ wholesale company. Later I was allowed to grow other companies in Germany, China, and the USA. 

Thanks to versatility also on your side.

While working, I continued my education in many areas – as a business mediator SKWM as well as in the areas of conflict management  and family governance. This is also why, after the sale of our family business, I concentrated on passing on my knowledge and skills to others. Thanks to experience in various companies as well as in various charitable non-profit enterprises, as a Family Business Advisor I know the challenges of family entrepreneurship – from start-up to consolidation to succession planning and handover.
