Fractional COO for Fintechs who want to increase their profits 🦅 Build strength aligned, high-performing teams and stop doing everything yourself.

Growth only matters if it lasts - and scales efficiently.

First one in, last one out of the office?

Still doing work that others should - or that no one really should?
Trading focus and family time for “just a few more hours”?

You’re not disorganized - you’re running a company that’s quietly running on you.

That’s the trap every great founder eventually falls into.
I know, because I did too.

Early in my career, I led a team the hard way — through sheer effort.
Then I started building structures that combined my background in computer science, leadership, and management.
The results: fewer hours, better output, and a team that wasn’t just performing — but thinking.

When I became a CEO, I scaled that approach into a full operating architecture:

🔹focused only on tasks that pushed the business forward,
🔹built trust-based, values-driven teams,
🔹replaced “busy work” with measurable momentum, and
🔹ran everything from hiring to tech and customer service on aligned principles.

We grew from 6 to 7 digits — sustainably, and without burnout.

Today, I work with CEOs and founders who want their freedom back - 
✨to build organizations that scale without dependency,
✨where growth stays real, people stay energized,
✨and leadership sustains - not drains.

Let’s build a company that grows with you, not on you.

Most leaders don't recognise when noise replaces signal.

Why?

Because the shift happens gradually -
One extra meeting here, another urgent request there, until your entire day becomes reactive.

I see this pattern with every founder I work with:
The moment their company hits a certain scale, their role distorts.

They're no longer designing the business -
They're responding to it.

The requests feel legitimate. The questions seem important.

The decisions appear urgent.

But here's what's actually happening: your organisational architecture has outgrown your leadership structure.

When systems lack clarity, everything becomes your problem to solve.

When accountability flows upward instead of outward, every decision lands on your desk.

When execution rhythm breaks down, urgency replaces priority.

The work isn't the issue -
It's that you've become the bottleneck in your own system.

Strong leaders don't need more hours in the day.

They need interference removed so the right decisions become self-evident again.

The signal was always there -
It's just been buried under structural noise.

🚀 What I Do: Helping Businesses Grow Smarter

I help business owners grow by connecting their message with the right audience. As co-founder of BOOSTLi, I simplify selling and scaling businesses through social media and personal branding using AI and automation—on LinkedIn and Instagram. I also share practical strategies and insights from my journey as CMO of the Swiss energy startup CEEX, where we’re driving the energy transition with AI.

🌟 Why I Do It
Building my first startup taught me how challenging it is for business owners to focus on running their business while promoting it effectively. I’m passionate about helping them share their message, reach the right people, and grow their businesses smartly.

I lost 6 figures and my dad in the same year. 
And nothing prepared me for that journey.

The startup my dad and I founded was focused on heating with hydrogen. We believed in the mission. We poured everything into it. I even bootstrapped everything with my savings. But in the end, I lost it all.

Closing the business after he passed away meant piles of paperwork in Germany and hard decisions to make. It was overwhelming. 

But even in the darkest moments, unexpected doors opened.
Through the startup, I met Simon Davies. 

Fast forward 1.5 years: 
Simon introduced me to Thomas J. Caduff during a network event. Thomas invited me to Dubai. That connection led to opportunities I couldn’t have imagined - an international keynote in Dubai, new networks, and perspectives that reshaped my journey.

Looking back, I realize every step-even the painful ones - shaped who I am today.

Sure, I’ve made mistakes I’d undo if I could. But the connections I’ve built, the lessons I’ve learned? I wouldn’t trade them for anything. 

Here’s what losing-and finding myself again-taught me: 
- Setbacks shape your resilience. 
- Bold moves invite unexpected growth. 
- The hardest paths create the most powerful stories. 

Today, when I stand and speak about AI, technology, and growth, I do it with gratitude. Gratitude for the losses, the challenges, and the people who were there along the way. 

Not everything makes sense as it happens. But when you look back, the dots start to connect. 

What moments in your life changed your path unexpectedly?

AI kills human connection.

I hear this often.

When I say I’m passionate about AI and human connection, I get strange looks.
Because many people believe AI and human connection can’t coexist.
But I disagree.

This month, I spoke about this at the Capital Club Dubai.

The topic? How AI can amplify human connection instead of replacing it.

Here’s the truth:

AI doesn’t have to kill connection.

It can:
- Simplify how we interact with data.
- Deepen the relationships we’ve already built.
- Amplify the ways we connect authentically.

The opportunities are enormous.

But it takes intention-and a human-first approach.

I’m grateful for the chance to share this vision with leaders and innovators in Dubai.

Thank you to Thomas J. Caduff and Sascha Viets for making this possible.

Dubai showed me what’s possible when bold thinking meets action, especially in AI.

Now I’m curious:
Do you think AI can amplify human connection?

Switzerland is my happy place. But after Dubai, my idea of 'possible' changed forever.

When I first arrived in Dubai, I didn’t love it.

It felt flashy, loud, and unreal.

I missed the calm beauty of Switzerland-the place I always call home.

But as the days went by, something shifted.

I started to see the energy behind the surface. The drive. The ambition.

Dubai isn’t just a city; it’s a mindset.

• High-paced innovation
• Entrepreneurial spirit
• A belief that anything is possible

It’s no surprise that Dubai now ranks as the world’s most attractive city for the wealthy, ahead of New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

• Favorable tax policies
• Political stability
• Family-oriented infrastructure
• A supportive environment for entrepreneurship

And let’s not forget the Golden Visa program, drawing elite global citizens with investor-friendly policies.

Being surrounded by people who radiate such energy was inspiring.

Their attitude? Go forward. Build the future.

It made me reflect on Europe, where restrictions often slow down innovation.

Dubai, in contrast, feels like a launchpad for ideas and growth.

Leaving Dubai, I felt deeply inspired.

The city’s vibe, its people, and its possibilities left a lasting impression.

Will I go back? Definitely.

What’s a place that’s changed your perspective on what’s possible?

The best networking isn’t about talking. 
It’s about learning from people who inspire you.

This month, I had the privilege of attending the Fundplat GmbH Desert Talks in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

It wasn’t just about discovering what’s possible in these vibrant cities, it was about being in the right room.

A room filled with inspiring individuals, where I could listen, absorb, and grow.

Here’s what stood out:

• Tradition meets innovation:
I learned how the finance sector blends deep-rooted practices with bold, forward-thinking ideas. It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t mean leaving the past behind-it means building on it.

• Inspiration fuels growth:
Being surrounded by people who challenge your thinking and open your perspective is invaluable. It’s not about being the loudest voice in the room; it’s about soaking in the wisdom around you.

• Collaboration creates win-wins:
The best connections happen when people come together to share insights, not just exchange business cards. That’s where real impact begins.

Walking through these conversations, I realized something important:

Growth isn’t just about strategies or tools. It’s about the people who inspire you to think bigger and do better.

And sometimes, the best way to grow is simply to listen.

What’s the most inspiring lesson you’ve learned from someone recently?

Looking for my better half.
Is it you?

BOOSTLi is growing, and I’m looking for someone who shares my passion for bridging AI and human connection.

Someone who believes that technology isn’t just about automation-it’s about amplifying authentic relationships and driving real growth.

Here’s what I need:

- An AI Growth Manager who’s excited about combining strategy with innovation.
- A partner who thrives on solving challenges and bringing bold ideas to life.
- A collaborator who understands how AI can unlock potential for brands and people.

This isn’t just a job. Together, we’ll create systems that feel human, scale organically, and redefine how businesses grow on LinkedIn and Instagram.

If you’re ready to make an impact-or know someone who fits this vision-I’d love to connect or tag them below.

Over the past months, I’ve had the chance to dive deeper into the finance industry and one thing stands out clearly:

One of the biggest untapped opportunities is how networks are leveraged.
Offline, the industry is world-class. Online, a huge amount of potential is still untouched and AI can bridge exactly that gap.

Not fancy content.
But efficient, data-driven relationship building that turns existing networks into  visibility and opportunities.

I’m  excited about the upcoming collaboration with Fundplat in 2026 and my offline workshop on the Uetliberg Zurich.

Fondsprodukte gleichen sich immer stärker - gefragt ist ein neues Vertriebsdenken. Jetzt!

ETFs, Direktbanken, Sparpläne und nun KI: Die Fondsindustrie befindet sich im grössten Umbruch ihrer Geschichte. Produkte sind austauschbar geworden - Menschen nicht. Sichtbarkeit, digitale Souveränität und echte Beziehungen entscheiden über Erfolg.

Meine Kollegin Carina Holzapfel von BOOSTLi verbindet klassische Finanz­netz­werke mit modernem, daten- und KI-gestütztem Relationship Building auf LinkedIn - eine Fähigkeit, die in unserer Branche noch stark unter­schätzt wird.

Nach meinem inspirierenden Austausch am Freitag, 21. November 2025, in der tollen Zürcher DUPONT - Brasserie & Bar - sowie anfangs des Monats in Dubai - mit ihr, war klar: Fundplat und BOOSTLi wollen die Finanz­branche gemeinsam weiterbringen. Tradition trifft Innovation. Mit einem Handschlag besiegelten wir dies und hielten den Moment feierlich auf einem Foto fest

Am Mittwoch, 17. Juni 2026, organisiert Carina im Hotel UTO KULM auf dem Zürcher Uetliberg den Workshop «Next-Level Networking: Clever KI auf LinkedIn nutzen», der von 09:30 bis 11:00 Uhr dauert. Die Kosten betragen CHF 250 exkl. 8.1% MWST. Wichtig: Der BOOSTLi-Workshop und der anschliessende 9. Fundplat «The Mountain Talks» Summit 2026 sind zwei getrennte Events, für die jeweils eine eigene Anmeldung erforderlich ist.

Fazit: Die Finanzbranche insgesamt verändert sich rasant - wer jetzt sichtbar, digital souverän und vernetzt handelt, wird erfolgreich sein. Nutzen Sie die Chance, selbst aktiv zu werden und die neuen Möglich­keiten für sich und Ihr Unternehmen zu erschliessen! Thomas J. Caduff, CEO, Fundplat GmbH
