From the idea
to success – how it all started
“I was so disappointed by the continuous decline in value and focus on short-term business results. This gave us the drive to design a fundamentally new business model in the middle of the financial crisis in 2009.”
Thomas Warnecke, Founder & CEO
"I was fascinated from the very beginning by our independence towards the client on the one hand, and the structured approach on the other."
Walter Arnold, Managing Partner
"In large organisations, people always told me: keep doing what you already know. Here I was asked: what do you stand for, what do you want to achieve? I felt that was a strong message."
Leendert van Hoeken, mentions one of the reasons why he and his colleagues moved from a major bank to Colin&Cie in 2015 and helped to set up the Lugano office
"In the past, you got directions from the left and the right. At Colin&Cie, we set the goals from day one ourselves and worked towards them."
Björn Recher, COO
"At the meeting table I sit next to my client, not opposite. It's a completely different world compared to conventional advisory."
Bernd Klingbeil, Managing Partner
"We can trust each other 100% and have now grown together into a real working family."
Joachim Erdmann, Managing Partner
"If you can be authentic and live your strengths, then the client has a better advisor at hand."
Leendert van Hoeken, Managing Partner
