About the Experts Network
TheExpertsNetwork was launched as the result of a series of discussions between Peter Kazimirski (PWC), Wolfgang Schickbauer (Voltimum) and Tim Dyer (Addex Pharmaceuticals) in summer 2004.
Together, the founders identified the need for a new initiative in the Geneva-area: a quality club of professionals, CEOs and CFOs of high tech, high growth companies. They felt that these companies experience similar issues and challenges and for the executives concerned it would be very helpful to exchange ideas and offer mutual support on these topics in an informal setting. The goal was, (and still is) to organize 6 dinners per year with one or more guest speakers on a specific topic of interest to the group.
