Marcel Gasser

“Daniel has been in charge of building our Board of Directors for the Global Entrepreneurship Network Switzerland.
Because of the people we have on the board now, we literally have access to more than 50’000 high level contacts, including entrepreneurs, investors, CEOs, corporate innovators, governments as well as NGO leaders.
This enables us to build this organization more strategically and effectively than we ever could have without that board."
Janis Leontidis
Serial Entrepreneur and CEO at Virus Clothing
"What we need are people who do things, who do not fear to take risks, who are actually interested to really change something.
There are unfortunately only few of them and I was happy to meet one of those - Daniel.
Just a few weeks after I met him, he introduced me to an investor, who ended up investing into my venture."
Richard Grauel
Business Development Executive for Clean Energy Infrastructure and Private Equity
"After only two short conversations with Daniel, he clearly understood my personal vision and mission.
Just a few days later he sent an introduction to a truly inspirational entrepreneur I would never have normally come across in my extensive network.
I would sincerely like to thank Daniel for connecting me and enabling me to live my dream as an entrepreneur and investor in a very exciting new business venture."
