Do Swiss businesses have special needs when it comes to cloud assurance? We asked Narcisse Vieira, Partner & Cloud Assurance Lead at PwC Switzerland in our newest edition of the Disclose Magazine. Narcisse talks about the real value of assurance in the cloud: 1️⃣ Knowing who’s responsible for what. 2️⃣ Knowing where your data sits. 3️⃣ And knowing your setup won’t fall short when it matters most. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dUbyHHq2 #DiscloseMagazine #CloudAssurance #CyberSecurity #PwCInsights #DigitalTrust #WhatMatters

Is your organization truly ready for the next leap? Only 23% of organizations are realizing their full transformation potential. That’s a sobering number – and one we believe can be flipped. I had the privilege of hosting our McKinsey People Leader Forum Switzerland – Fall Edition at our Zurich office. Together with an incredible group of Swiss CHROs and Senior Leaders, we explored what it takes to thrive in a fast-changing world. We were joined by Deepak Mahadevan, McKinsey Partner in Brussels, who introduced the concept of the agentic organization – a bold new vision that challenges traditional structures and reimagines how organizations operate, adapt, and scale. Some insights: - HR is no longer just a function – it’s a force. HR leaders must act as architects of transformation and stewards of human potential. - GenAI hasn’t yet landed on the P&L – not because the tech isn’t ready, but because operating models aren’t. The missing link? Human agency. - Agents and humans working together isn’t science fiction – it’s already happening. The question is: Are we ready to scale it? The session was interactive and energizing, with participants sharing their own experiences, challenges and perspectives. The apéro afterwards was the perfect way to continue the conversation. Thank you to everyone who joined – and to Deepak for the inspiring insights, and to Anna Roth, Anna-Corinna Kulle with Rob Hamill and Thomas Barker, Janina Hebe and Edmond Platz. 📖 Curious to learn more? https://lnkd.in/eWs2fAEr #McKinsey #PeopleLeaderForum #CHRO #AgenticOrganization #FutureOfWork #GenAI #AgenticAI

🚀 Building automation software company viboo has successfully closed its second financing round, raising €3.3 million. The round was led by Realyze Ventures, with participation from Zürcher Kantonalbank, existing investors HTGF and Swisscom Ventures, and new investors. 🏘️⚙️ The investment by leading PropTech VC Realyze Ventures underscores confidence in viboo’s potential to make buildings more energy efficient without major interventions, achieve significant energy savings, and accelerate the decarbonization of existing building stock. 💶 The fresh funding will be used to expand into the German market, where strong demand is being driven by the Building Energy Act (GEG). The platform will also be developed from a pure energy management solution into a comprehensive building management tool. 🗨️ Felix Bünning, Co-Founder of viboo, is thrilled about the completion of the seed round: “We have built a strong foundation in Switzerland – with more than 40 satisfied customers, some already rolling out across portfolios, and significant energy savings in existing buildings. Our solution convinces because it is easy to implement, delivers fast results, and generates immediate savings. Now we are taking the next big step with our entry into our first EU market, where a combination of energy prices and regulation creates strong pull. Realyze Ventures was our preferred partner from the start thanks to their deep industry expertise and excellent network. With Zürcher Kantonalbank, we are also adding one of Switzerland’s most renowned early-stage investors.” 💬 Gregor Haidl, Principal at HTGF, adds: “We’re excited to welcome Realyze Ventures and ZKB as ideal partners for viboo’s next growth chapter. Their strategic expertise complements viboo’s entrepreneurial spirit, strong market traction, and pioneering role in driving scalable building decarbonisation through their cloud- and AI-first approach.” 👏 Congratulations to the whole team!
