That distinction matters. I won't tell you what you want to hear to win a contract. I'll tell you what your IT actually needs, what it would take to fix it, and whether it's worth fixing now or later. That's the only kind of IT consultancy worth paying for.
I'm British, I've been based in Switzerland for many years, and I hold a Swiss C Residency Permit — which means I work here with full Swiss employment rights, pay Swiss taxes, and am fully accountable under Swiss law. I'm not a remote contractor who happens to have Swiss clients.
I started Techvee GmbH because I kept seeing the same pattern: Swiss small businesses paying either too much for IT support they didn't need, or too little for IT support that wasn't delivering. The middle ground — experienced, direct, honest IT consultancy at a fair price — seemed underserved.
I describe myself as an IT specialist who started a company, not a businessman who happens to know IT. That shows in how I work. I'm more comfortable talking about Azure architecture or nDSG compliance than discussing pipeline metrics or brand positioning. I'm interested in solving your actual problem, not in impressing you with process.
My clients tend to value directness. If I can't help you, I'll tell you. If what you're considering is a bad idea technically, I'll say so. If someone else is better placed to solve your problem, I'll point you to them. That's not a sales technique — it's just how I think IT consultancy should work.
Years of experience as IT lead and Global Admin at regulated financial institutions — including active Microsoft 365 Global Admin and architect responsibilities at Aquis Capital, a Swiss financial services firm.
Deep, hands-on experience across the full Microsoft cloud stack — from tenant setup and licensing through to Azure infrastructure, Defender, Intune, Autopilot, and Entra ID. Previously Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect.
Practical cybersecurity work including Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Sentinel, Privileged Identity Management, Conditional Access, and Swiss/EU regulatory compliance — nDSG, CLOUD Act, FINMA advisory.
Comfortable writing code as well as administering infrastructure. Currently building and maintaining production applications including SwissQRBills — a live Swiss QR Bill generator used by Swiss businesses — using AI-assisted development.
Novatrend reseller managing Swiss-hosted web infrastructure for businesses and individuals. End-to-end capability from domain registration and DNS through to managed WordPress and application hosting.
Not an account manager, not a helpdesk, not a junior who'll escalate to someone else. When you're a Techvee client, you have my direct contact details and I respond personally.
If your IT is in good shape, I'll say so. If there are issues, I'll explain them clearly and give you a realistic picture of cost and effort to fix. No manufactured urgency, no upselling.
Project work is quoted as a fixed price against a defined scope. You know what you're paying before work starts. No open-ended billing, no scope creep surprises at the end.
Swiss compliance, MWST, Treuhänder relationships, Swiss banking requirements, FINMA — I work in this environment every day. No learning curve at your expense.
I respond on the same business day. I don't put you on hold while I "raise a ticket". I don't send you generic troubleshooting guides before actually engaging with your problem.
AI, Copilot, nDSG, EU AI Act, new Azure services — I follow these closely because they affect my clients. I bring relevant updates to you rather than waiting to be asked.
Thirty minutes, no charge. Tell me what you're dealing with and I'll tell you what I think.
