Michel Baumann
Cooperation Partner

«Successful executive search, to me, means truly understanding people and organizations and creating connections that work over the long term.»
Michel Baumann is the founder and Managing Director of Great Square SA and has many years of experience in executive search and the recruitment of leaders and specialists. He supports companies and public institutions with demanding search assignments, placing particular emphasis on a deep understanding of the organization, its culture, and the people behind it.
For him, successful recruitment goes far beyond matching a CV to a job profile. Personality, motivation, and the potential for a successful long-term working relationship are at the heart of his work. He combines a personal, direct approach with entrepreneurial thinking and in-depth market knowledge.
As a German-speaking Swiss who grew up in, and still lives in, the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Michel Baumann is at home in both linguistic and cultural regions. He is fluent in French and Swiss German and understands the differing mentalities, working styles, and cultural nuances of both regions. Bridging these worlds and connecting German- and French-speaking Switzerland is a particular passion for him, and it shapes his day-to-day work.
In his personal life, Michel Baumann enjoys spending time with his family. He finds balance through water sports, sailing, skiing, and time in nature.
