Kessler moved into its new offices at Aeschenvorstadt 55 in Basel on 1 September. The new location provides the foundation for further growth in the region and strengthens Kessler’s presence in one of Switzerland’s most important business centers. The local team will be reinforced by three additional employees and will now include four client executives. From Basel, Kessler aims to provide clients throughout Northwestern Switzerland with even more personal and comprehensive support in future.
Stephan Rickenbacher will take over as head of the Basel office. He has more than 15 years of experience in the insurance industry and has worked as a client executive at Kessler since 2023. He brings his extensive experience working with brokers to the advisory services he provides to well-known companies, particularly in the energy and logistics sectors. At the same time, he has close ties to companies and the Basel business community.
Patrick Arnet, Philipp Bischof and Franco Todaro are the new members of the Basel team. Patrick Arnet and Philipp Bischof have extensive experience in insurance consulting and a strong regional network as client executives. Franco Todaro previously worked as Head of Underwriting at an insurance company. He has in-depth expertise across all lines of insurance and many years of experience in the international insurance business.
Martin Rohrbach, Member of the Executive Committee, welcomes this development: “With the new office, we are underlining our long-term commitment to Basel and the wider Northwestern Switzerland region. I am delighted that we now have an experienced and well-connected team on the ground. Together, we aim to provide our clients with personal, expert and comprehensive advice while continuing to strengthen our presence in the region.”
