Fintech mastermind Johannes «Johs» Hoehener is stepping down from his duties at Swisscom and is entering retirement this year, according to an exchange with finews.com

Hoehener previously headed the influential fintech cluster at the telecommunications giant. Most recently, he was still active at Swisscom as an advisor in the areas of digital assets and trust services.

Numerous Mandates


Hoehener will keep his roles as a consultant on the board of directors of digitalization consultant Ti&m, as well as his position on the board of directors of real estate portal Newhome.ch and his seat on the advisory board of legaltech company Doc IQ.

For the first quarter of 2022 he will also continue his chairman functions at crypto custody specialist Custodigit and at Bern-based coffee roaster and trader Adrianos, he says.
