Hi Felipe, great to see your interest. I was the first classical search funder in Switzerland - having raised & searched in 2013 & 2014 and then bought a business in Germany eventually. I'd gladly take the time and speak to you from my experience and am very well connected in the space for further intros etc. You can reach me on [redacted] best & looking forward to speaking, tobias

Tobias, Felipe, can I join your discussion please? I've graduated from EMBA in IMD last year, and I am also considering search in Switzerland. Tobias, it would be really interesting to listen from you regarding your search experience. Should we arrange a conference call?

For France, I would see it rather difficult to convince a French CEO to sell his business to a non French entrepreneur (for cultural and language question). To a French speaking Swiss or Belgian it could be possible with extra efforts though, but it would cost more efforts to convince the seller. For Switzerland I am not sure, although I would think that language and culture play a important role in building the trust between sellers and buyer sides. To be further investigated with searchers who have performed searches on two countries.
