About
Sport. Business. Communication.
My professional and sporting lives may look very different from the outside. For me, they are closely connected.
More than 20 years in Marketing and Communications and almost two decades in endurance sport have taught me many of the same lessons: know why you’re doing something, prepare seriously, surround yourself with the right people, adapt when reality changes, and deliver when it matters.
Today, I bring these experiences together as an independent consultant, speaker and ultra-endurance athlete.

Testimonials
In their words.
Client · Honda Motor Europe
“I had the pleasure of working with Dominik as project lead for the Honda Fan Event 2026, which was one of the largest Honda events ever held in Switzerland, bringing together almost 1,000 visitors and close to 500 Honda vehicles.
Dominik is reliable, solution-oriented and always willing to go the extra mile. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend him for event management, marketing and communications projects.”
Client · International SOS
“In spring 2026, I hired Dominik as an external consultant for a PR and media relations mandate in Switzerland during a fast-moving crisis. His work resulted in several interviews with leading Swiss media and strong media coverage.”
Keynote · HC Rychenberg Winterthur
“Dominik’s talk has stayed with us to this day – not because of generic formulas for success, but because he shared his own story in such an open and personal way. It was moving and at the same time genuinely motivating, making you want to keep pushing forward yourself. He is an authentic speaker who truly connects with his audience and takes them along on the journey.”
