Chairperson

WindShape SA is a Swiss deep‑technology venture that creates cutting‑edge aerodynamic simulation tools and wind‑generation systems for sectors such as aerospace, drones, robotics, mobility, sport performance and advanced industrial research. The organisation is looking for a Chairperson to head its board and steer the business as it moves into a more structured, scalable phase. In this capacity the chair will guide board deliberations, supervise financial stewardship and support the transition from a founder‑driven start‑up to a mature, industrial‑grade enterprise. Core duties involve overseeing cash flow, budgeting, key‑performance‑indicator tracking and overall fiscal health, while also championing organisational design, change‑management initiatives and the conversion of R&D output into market‑ready products. The role demands close interaction with engineering and product teams to ensure that technical innovation aligns with commercial scaling objectives. Candidates must have a proven record of chairing rapidly expanding Swiss companies, with deep familiarity with board practices, fiduciary responsibilities and governance standards in Switzerland. A strong background in financial supervision, operational scaling and corporate structuring is essential, as is experience guiding firms through industrialisation and maturity stages. Preference is given to individuals residing in Switzerland. Additional assets include extensive exposure to B‑to‑B engineering environments, insight into advanced technology development cycles, and a track record of managing organisational change from entrepreneurial to scale‑up models.
