Richard Debrot is executive partner of 5C!Concept and fulfills a guiding role in the company’s further growth by leading new business development and implementing change to the existing organization thus preparing it for the next growth step.

Over the past five years, Richard has applied his hands-on knowledge in business consulting with a focus on business development, strategy implementation and communication with a distinct client centric focus. He follows a philosophy that a company has internal as well as external clients – key to both cases is: communication between people. In doing so, he has steered teams and coached individuals from senior manager to board members to optimize their behavioral awareness to become sovereign business people and more balanced individuals. Among his clients are large international financial service firms as well as companies supplying unique products that demand a high degree of consultative selling.

After 10 years in the USA Richard lives in Switzerland again and consults his clients in English and German. In his consulting work he often combines the sports experience with the business background which results in a unique consulting approach of constantly challenging the transfer of learnings from one field to another which makes the experience more impactful (learning through body & mind intelligence) leading to sustainable changes in behaviour.

A Swiss national, Richard has a background in Chemical Engineering from the University of Zürich and balanced his scientific background with an international economics degree through a 2 year MBA program at Kellogg Business School, Northwestern University. With over 15 years of work experience in business development functions in pharmaceutical, medical and biotech industries in Europe and the USA as well as entrepreneur of a self-funded business he can offer a range of skills to guide business stakeholders with their challenges and stimulate solution driving.
