Michael Niedermann takes over as Team Lead Consulting Europe

Lucerne, June 10, 2026 — Swiss GRC is sending out a clear signal for further growth and focused customer support: the company’s consulting division is being restructured and will be divided into three specialised teams in future: Consulting Europe, Consulting International and Solution Engineering.

As part of this realignment, Michael Niedermann will take over the management of Consulting Europe and overall responsibility for the Solution Engineering team on 1 August 2025. In this role, he will be responsible for the operational development of the consulting business in Switzerland, in Germany and other European markets with a team of around 30 people.

Niedermann has been a Senior GRC Consultant at Swiss GRC since March 2024. He previously held various management positions in the finance and technology sector, including Chief Operating Officer and Head of Risk & Compliance at the Avobis Group, Chief Risk Officer at Arizon and Head of Operational Risk Controlling at Raiffeisen Switzerland. In previous roles, he was responsible for the successful introduction of several GRC systems and therefore has a sound customer perspective. He has acquired his in-depth expertise in the application of the GRC Toolbox over the past 14 months as part of customer projects and in close collaboration with product development. He has also been a member of the Board of Directors of Raiffeisenbank Surbtal-Wehntal for several years.

“Since joining Swiss GRC, Michael Niedermann has established himself as a central pillar of our consulting team. With his many years of experience in the Swiss financial and technology market and his deep understanding of risk management and regulatory requirements, he is predestined to take over the management of Consulting Europe,” says Besfort Kuqi, Co-Founder and CEO of Swiss GRC.

Michael Niedermann adds: “I am very pleased about the trust and the new responsibility. I know the needs of our clients from my own experience. I am more than happy to be able to work with the team to further develop our consulting services in a targeted manner and bring Swiss GRC even closer to the market as a strong partner.”

Gentian Ajeti, who as Head Consulting will continue to be responsible for the overall management of the entire consulting division, will in future concentrate more on the strategic development and orientation of the client business.

With this structural development, Swiss GRC is creating the ideal conditions for combining specialist expertise, market proximity and international scalability in an even more targeted manner.
