Doreen Geiger

Executive Business Partner

I support CEOs, executive boards and boards of directors wherever overview, reliability and quick action are needed: in day-to-day business, in board processes and during transitions. I take ownership, create structure and keep leaders free to focus on what matters.

Available now: at short notice for interim assignments or long term in a permanent position. With a legal background in board of directors matters, general meetings and the commercial register. On site in Central Switzerland, Zug and Zurich, or remote.

I think in connections, not just in tasks.

Your assistant is absent, the position is still vacant or a project needs extra capacity? I step in at short notice and support the CEO, the executive board and the board of directors.

I use AI tools in a targeted, privacy-conscious way, for example for minutes, presentations and research. This noticeably lightens the load on the office and frees up time for what takes experience and good judgement.

How an assignment works

  1. 1

    Initial meeting

    We clarify tasks, scope and duration, and whether I work on site or remotely.

  2. 2

    Start within a few days

    I quickly get an overview of calendars, open items and ongoing business and take over from day one.

  3. 3

    Clean handover

    At the end, I hand everything over fully documented so that nothing gets lost.
