GLOBAL HEAD OF THE 5TH FLOOR
MAXIMILIAN ZAPPA
Professional Career
Professionally, I have spent almost two decades in banking, supporting companies in various stages of development. In particular, in my role as a start-up manager at BLKB, I was able to lead the “100 fürs Baselbiet” initiative and support various start-ups from the very beginning. This experience gave me a comprehensive insight into the initial entrepreneurial challenges. I still pursue my passion today and use this experience and the network I have built up to provide strategic advice and conduct a wide range of negotiations as an external advisor for selected companies.
The 5th Floor
After this exciting time in banking, I decided to take on the entrepreneurial leadership of The 5th Floor. It fulfils me to be able to act entrepreneurially every day with our corporate culture and to support other businesses on their journey. I firmly believe in entrepreneurship in Switzerland and that SMEs not only make a significant contribution to our economy and society but also form its foundation.
Our Approach
By Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs! At The 5th Floor, personal contact and understanding the individual needs of our clients are paramount. I look forward to getting to know you and taking the next steps together.
