Three Brothers - One Team
Loris Friedli
I am the youngest son of the Friedli family. In the spring of 2017, I completed my education at Gymnasium Hohe Promenade and received my Matura. I spent the following year traveling through Latin America and gaining valuable work experience. Later that year, I co-founded a work & travel startup that continues to thrive today. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of St. Gallen, I completed my Master's degree at ESCP Business School in London and Paris. I am currently working for IBM in Zurich and living with my brother Jan. In my spare time, I enjoy playing padel and staying updated on the latest tech trends.
Jan Friedli
I am the middle son of the Friedli family. I received my Matura from Gymnasium Hottingen in Zurich before attending Queen’s University in Canada. In 2017, I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce and began working as a Consultant at Deloitte in Toronto. Later, I completed a Master of Management of Information Systems and Digital Innovation at the London School of Economics (LSE). Upon returning to Zurich, I worked as a Manager for DigitalSwitzerland, focusing on launching cross-industry innovation projects, before joining Lufthansa Group as an Innovation Manager. In my spare time, I enjoy writing and kite-surfing.
Simon Friedli
I am the oldest son of the Friedli family. I attended Rämibühl in Zurich and later completed my high school diploma in beautiful Victoria, Canada. In 2016, I graduated with a double degree in commerce and economics from Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada, where I spent a lot of time with my brother Jan, who attended the same university. After graduation, I joined the Financial Leadership Program at GE, which allowed me to live in Zurich, Aberdeen, Paris, and Boston for six months each. I currently work as the CFO for De Sede, a Swiss manufacturing company. In my spare time, I enjoy kite-surfing, cycling, and music.
