Zanders promotes Tobias Westermaier to partner in Swiss business

04 February 2025 Consultancy.eu

Having returned to the firm a few years ago, Tobias Westermaier has entered his seventh year at Zanders as a partner in its Swiss business.

Tobias Westermaier brings a wealth of experience in corporate finance and treasury to the leadership team of Zanders, an international consulting business with around 450 people worldwide.

“I’ve spent my whole career in corporate finance and treasury roles, working within corporates, banks, and consulting,” Tobias shares. “I joined Zanders in Switzerland in 2014 after returning from Asia and was fortunate to work on a variety of projects both in Switzerland and internationally.”

After spells at banking groups BNP Paribas and J. Safra Sarasin, Westermaier re-joined Zanders in 2021, taking on the role of Treasury practice leader in Switzerland. More recently, he was handed the responsibility for the Advisory practice in Switzerland, and played a key role in the firm’s expansion in the DACH region.

When asked about what excites him most about becoming a partner, Westermaier highlights two key areas: growth and collaboration. “I am very much looking forward to actively shaping the Zanders growth story. In particular, I am excited to build and lead our Treasury Advisory practice in the DACH region.”

“Working towards ambitious goals with my outstanding colleagues gives me the most energy. Empowering the team to unlock their full potential will be key to delivering great results for our clients.”

Looking ahead, Westermaier says he is particularly excited about the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) within the finance and consulting domains. “AI is on top of my mind. It will fundamentally change how we work, especially in the consulting industry, and open new opportunities for us and our clients.”

Commenting on the promotion, Laurens Tijdhof, CEO and Managing Partner at Zanders, says: “We are very excited to have Tobias join the partner team and contribute to Zanders’ mission of delivering exceptional value to our clients. His leadership, vision, and expertise will undoubtedly propel us forward as we continue to grow and innovate. We congratulate Tobias on his well-deserved promotion.”

Outside of the DACH region, Zanders also has offices in the Netherlands (headquarters), United Kingdom, Sweden, the UAE, the US, and Japan.
