CEOs work from home just like you and me: they work from the kitchen table, listen to «The Who» on coffee breaks, and enjoy take-out pizza sometimes. finews.com asked around.
Thomas Gottstein, Credit Suisse CEO
«The phone is my most important work tool now. I'm talking to our employees, clients, and political representatives as well as other banks even more frequently than usual. I can do that fine from home. I also appreciate being able to eat lunch with my family during the workweek. And I love getting some fresh air with our dogs.»
Max Cotting, Aquila Group founder and CEO
«We have to be there for partners and clients despite working from home. That's what a small number of our employees are still in the office. It's also the reason that I travel from Zermatt to Zurich every Monday morning (I have the whole train carriage to myself), and go back to my office at home – with a view of the Matterhorn – on Tuesday afternoon.»
Marianne Wildi, Hypothekarbank, or «Hypi», Lenzburg CEO
«We equipped our organization with the tools to work from home very quickly. The foundation was laid, but we hadn't had the urgency until now. OUr employees are displaying a lot of flexibility and willingness to try new things and find new solutions for our clients in these extraordinary times. I'm very proud of my «Hypi» team!»
Eric Syz, Syz founder
«Normally I'm at my desk by 7: 30 a.m. in a suit and tie, but it was surprisingly easy to get used to working from my kitchen table in jeans and a sweater. I'm proud of the «Syz family» which is upholding high standards in service despite the circumstances. Even if most of us are working from home, we're still completely present.»
