Westhive with new Chairman of the Board of Directors
Martin Bosshardt, who held the chairmanship for more than four years, is stepping down and announcing further growth at the serviced office provider.
Westhive AG has appointed Lukas André as Chairman of the Board of Directors. André, who joined the Board of Directors a year ago, takes over the position of Chairman of the Board from Martin Bosshardt, who held the chairmanship for more than four years. Bosshardt will remain a member of the Board of Directors.
As Managing Partner, André is responsible for the Swiss business of Redstone, a European investment company with a focus on venture capital. He previously worked as a company founder and investment manager for around 20 years. Martin Bosshardt, outgoing Chairman of the Board of Directors, comments on the appointment as follows: "The course has been set for further growth in the coming years, and Lukas André is the perfect appointment to the Board of Directors to actively support and steer this growth."
Number of locations to grow significantly
The company currently operates seven serviced office locations across Switzerland: four in Zurich and one each in Basel, Geneva and Zug. According to a press release, the company's turnover has grown by around 35% this year compared to the previous year. Capacity utilization at all locations is increasing significantly. Bosshardt is observing a general trend towards serviced offices because companies prefer shorter notice periods. Against this backdrop, the number of Westhive locations is set to increase "significantly". (aw)
