What I Do
I’m Regula Buob and my long-term goal is to help shape a future generation of leaders that change society both with their ideas and with their great spirit.
My job is guiding companies and individuals through the transition from startup to scaleup and eventually to international operations.
By asking the important questions, by calling things as they are, and by keeping the bigger picture in mind, I accompany young CEOs on their steep learning curve. Often I will add a puzzle piece from my treasure chest – my invaluable network, built over 20 years in this field.
The work I do with my clients makes them stronger leaders, more successful business people and healthier individuals.

Testimonials
„Within one year, Beekeeper grew from 20 to 120 employees. Given this dramatic change, the structure of the original management team needed to be reconsidered. Who could make the biggest impact, and in which role? Regula Buob accompanied our management team as we tackled this question. Under the pressure of a financing round, or rather under the scrutiny of large investors, we were able to leave old structures behind in a respectful manner and define new roles and responsibilities, keeping everyone’s best interests in mind.“
Cristian Grossman
CEO and Co-Founder Beekeeper
„Unter der Leitung von Regula Buob hat sich der W.A. de Vigier Jungunternehmerpreis zum einem der bedeutesten Jungunternehmerpreise in der Schweiz entwickelt, von welchem jedes Jahr zahlreiche Jungunternehmen profitieren können.“
Michael Sauter, Dr. sc. ETH
Geschäftsführer des Zentrums für Innovation und Digitalisierung (ZID)
„The startup world is in constant flux and extremely dynamic. Time and time again you reach forks in your path. Sometimes it is not clear which direction leads to the destination. In such situations, an outsider’s view is invaluable. Regula Buob possesses a great mix of tact, instinct and the ability to call things as they are. She helped us develop solutions that preserve existing resources and channel them anew in a way that is beneficial to the greater whole and to each of the individuals involved“.
