About Daniel Schmid

Global Executive | Business Transformation Leader | Driving Growth Through Innovation & People I am a multilingual business leader with 20+ years of international experience scaling organizations, driving profitable growth, and leading cross-functional teams across Europe and Asia.

My focus: shaping decentralization strategies, steering post-merger integrations, and transforming engineering organizations to stay agile in fast-changing markets. Throughout my career, I’ve- Delivered double-digit growth in highly competitive industries by aligning product, market, and regional strategies- Orchestrated complex post-merger integrations, ensuring smooth alignment of R&D, sales, and service operations- Led multimillion-dollar projects for global brands like Nestlé-Nespresso and Baxter, always on time and on budget- Built and coached diverse, international teams that thrive on collaboration, ownership, and innovation. What drives me is turning challenges into opportunities—whether it’s transforming organizations for global competitiveness, expanding into new markets, or innovating at the intersection of business and technology. When I’m not building business strategies, you’ll find me outdoors—on a bike, skis, or exploring new cultures and cuisines.
