Claudio Agustoni took over as Head of IT at Kessler on August 1. He succeeds Andreas Stocker, who is still working at Kessler and, in addition to helping Agustoni settle into his new role, is focusing more on the implementation of projects. “I am really happy with this solution and about being able to hand over the main responsibility as Head of IT to somebody new,” says Stocker.
Agustoni brings with him a wealth of technical and management experience. He holds a BSc in Computer Science from SUPSI (University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland) and an Executive MBA from IMD Business School. He has held various IT roles for Aduno Payment Services and Viseca Card Services, and was also CIO of Glarner Kantonalbank from 2019 to 2022. “I am really looking forward to this new challenge and the opportunity to drive digital transformation at Kessler,” says Agustoni.
Tom Kessler, Managing Partner at Kessler, commends Stocker’s performance and wishes Agustoni lots of happiness and success in his new role: “I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Andreas for his many years of valued service as Head of IT at Kessler, during which he played a major role in the success of the company. In Claudio, we have been able to recruit a successor with proven technical and management experience for this key role. We are pleased to welcome Claudio to Kessler and to still have Andreas in the company for a smooth handover and for overseeing projects.”
