Andrea Schenone at Exeleon: “The Swiss model must be spread!”<\/h1>\n

The president and founder of the “Swiss Federalism” association was interviewed by the authoritative US magazine among the 10 most dynamic CEOs 2021<\/em><\/h3>\n

There are many definitions of the term \u2018leadership\u2019 available across the web. However, for Andrea Schenone, leadership is not the position or just receiving a title. It is about the responsibility to bring out the best in others, which only succeeds when people naturally follow the leader\u2019s example. His point of view also identifies a leader who is never satisfied with his or her knowledge. One who is distinguished by his or her humility from other unethical power-seekers. And a strong leader always inspires others to follow in his or her footsteps.<\/p>\n

With this understanding, Andrea leads his organization Swiss Federalism to raise international awareness and promote true federalism, the cornerstone of Switzerland\u2019s civil, political, and economic success.<\/p>\n

A Journey Full of Learning<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Andrea\u2019s professional journey has been nothing short of exhilarating, always marked by curiosity and learning, and has included study, work, travel, meeting new people, and exploring new places. Hailing originally from Ligurian hinterland, Andrea graduated in Economics at the University of Genoa and embarked on a management and consulting career in the financial sector.<\/p>\n

He spent six years in Italy (Genoa and Milan) and more than fifteen years in Zurich working for large and prestigious international players in the insurance and banking sectors, including RSA Insurance Group, Swiss Re, Allianz, Sberbank, Zurich Insurance, and UBS. And in 2019, Andrea created Swiss Federalism as a result of his observations on the welfare\u00a0of Swiss federalism as well as the economic advantages that it offers.<\/p>\n

With both Swiss and Italian citizenships, Andrea Schenone presently holds a position as a member of the National Association of Swiss Analysts (SFAA) and the Scientific Committee of the Milton Friedman Institute. He is the representative of Swiss Analysts (SFAA) in EFFAS, the European Federation of Financial Analysts. His other professional role is that of Switzerland\u2019s representative to the prominent international organization Global Chamber of Business Leaders.<\/p>\n

In Favor of Businesses<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Andrea describes Switzerland as by far the best country in the world. The country is known for its quality of life, as an example of a well-functioning democracy, and for being one of the best business-friendly countries on earth.<\/p>\n

In the words of Andrea Schenone, \u201cTrue federalism is the cornerstone of Switzerland\u2019s great democracy, a model for sincere democrats all over the world. Democracy and true federalism are the bulwarks against totalitarianism and the driving force behind the prosperity and economic success of Switzerland.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And this is what Andrea wants to promote through his organization, Swiss Federalism. The organization\u2019s primary agenda is to raise international awareness and promote true federalism, the cornerstone of Switzerland\u2019s civil, political and economic success. To him, Swiss federalism is a model that should be promoted and spread to other state institutions across the globe, and he believes that it should be made more widely known and understood.<\/p>\n

Swiss Federalism as a platform offers businesses to use its Swiss and international network to grow. With this initiative, it hopes to connect the Swiss market with markets in other nations that share Switzerland\u2019s great values of freedom, democracy, and federalism.<\/p>\n

In addition, the organization assists Swiss firms in their internationalization efforts, assists them in their digital transformation, in preparation for future difficulties, and in their quest to enter new markets. Moreover, the organization draws capital to Switzerland by assisting non-Swiss firms in entering and investing in Switzerland, linking them with the local market, and assisting them in relocating by providing them with guidance and tax and insurance services.<\/p>\n

In this regard, the platform boasts several highly qualified contributors and enjoys relations with leading universities and international organizations.<\/p>\n

Even in the pandemic, the organization\u2019s new projects were successful despite the unprecedented times. The move towards digitalization favored Swiss Federalism and its people to read digital magazines from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Going Worldwide<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Andrea Schenone will continue to support the ideals of true federalism in the future, while also empowering other businesses to do the same.

In the next several years, Andrea hopes to make Swiss Federalism an even more well-known organization with a worldwide perspective. He envisions making the organization even more influential and well-known than it is currently, both on national and international level.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Andrea aspires to attract the most qualified collaborators, establish the most appropriate priorities, and increase the organization\u2019s worldwide reach by expanding its network of like-minded individuals who share the same Swiss values.<\/p>\n
