Hannes Gassert is an entrepreneur and board member with long-standing experience at the intersection of technology, society and institutional responsibility. He has founded and led several organisations and today focuses primarily on the question of how institutions can remain relevant and effective over the long term – particularly in times of technological, societal and geopolitical transformation.

His professional focus has gradually shifted from operational innovation towards bridging different logics: those of business, science, politics and civil society. Through his work in foundation boards and governance roles, he has gained experience in navigating institutional tensions, public expectations and strategic renewal processes.

Hannes Gassert is particularly interested in contexts where thinking and action come together. He aims to create spaces in which relevant questions can be articulated with clarity and addressed collaboratively, with a view to sustainable and responsible impact.
