Shaperion has been engaged for research, assessment, selection and proposals related to the proposed new chair and members of the Board for a Swiss listed, global acting fast growing company. The involved parties were impressed by the inspiring, effective, professional and systematic approach of shaping a diverse board within an ambitious timeline, fostering an honest, impactful and value driven board culture with hands-on mentality. We highly recommend Shaperion and Sandra Schnyder as a trustworthy partner.

The collaboration with Sandra Schnyder is an inspiring experience. Whether as a trustworthy assessment partner or as a professional, effective head hunter in the search for chair and for the design of impactful, value-driven, inclusive and effective boards. It has always been a pleasure to work with her.

(Dr. A.K.) Chair, Board of Directors and Investor

During a recent assessment, I had intensive contact with Sandra Schnyder. The experience was very positive in a way that is rare in a head-hunter/head-huntee relationship. Sandra Schnyder was knowledgeable, competent and trustworthy and went above and beyond what would be expected in this situation making the process an inspiring experience. I would recommend her without any hesitation as a first-class head hunter for board member searches and for the design of effective, diverse and well-functioning boards.
