Samuel Berger has a broad expertise in the technology and communications markets and a profound understanding of the digital shift with a focus on IT security, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. As a former executive board member of technology companies, he is aware of the scope and limits on corporate decisions, where there is a difficult balancing act of adapting established business models to new, technology-related market requirements.

Across industries, his focus is on technology management leadership positions such as chief information, chief digital, chief technology, chief security officer, and new technology ventures.

In his most recent position, he was chief sales officer and a member of the executive board of Futurae Technologies AG, a very successful cybersecurity company founded at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.

Samuel is an advisory board member of various technology companies and strongly aims to promote Switzerland as a prime location for technology. As a passionate advocate for the Swiss start-up scene, he argues the need for courage and decisiveness to help promote innovation and new projects.

He studied at the Universities of Zurich and Fribourg and graduated in economics and communications.

In his private time, Samuel enjoys his life to the fullest. He relishes spending time with his family in the great outdoors, playing tennis, and savoring the Swiss mountain air. His heart also beats for balmy evenings and crowded markets in the south of France, good food around large tables surrounded by friends, good music, and trips to foreign countries.
