Jonathan Clay, Founder & Managing DirectorSwiss Approach is led by Jonathan Clay, a seasoned consultant and entrepreneur, who has over 20 years of experience solving complex problems for a diverse range of clients. Straddling the line between business and technology, Jonathan is known as a "secret weapon" who has a knack for identifying root causes of problems, and finding simple solutions that leverage commonly available tools and techniques in creative ways. Based in Zurich since 2002, he decided to form a consulting group that reflects the deeply held Swiss values of quality, craftsmanship, and trust.
Jonathan holds Bachelor of Science degrees from MIT in Cognitive Science and Mathematics, and an MBA from La Salle University. A staunch believer in the power of innovation, he has built startups that have helped to pioneer the first generation of social networks, as well as technologies for talent management and workforce engagement. These days, in addition to running Swiss Approach, he is happy to be an investor and mentor to early stage startups.

As a Swiss firm, we are located in the heart of Europe and have access to an amazing transportation infrastructure. In addition to serving Swiss clients, we often travel to major business hubs such as London, Paris, Munich, Amsterdam, and Milan. We believe that, despite living in an interconnected world, sometimes there is no substitute for face to face interaction. So we are happy to go where the action is.
But we do not limit ourselves to one continent. In fact, we consider the entire world within our purview. Yet we recognize that it's not always practical, nor environmentally friendly, to hop on an airplane and fly halfway around the world for a couple meetings. Therefore, we work in conjunction with a network of local service providers to offer our Swiss made solutions to clients around the world.
Are you a software company in Brazil that is thinking about entering the European market? A manufacturer in Japan that wants to streamline its supply chain? An entrepreneur in Tanzania who needs access to capital? We can help with these cases and many more. Contact us today for an obligation free, confidential consultation.
