Top SchoolAndré Liechti is a veteran CTO and entrepreneur who has led SysCo systèmes de communication since co-founding it in 1998, combining deep electronics roots with communication systems expertise. He built his first application at 12, earned engineering degrees from HE-Arc and EPFL/EURECOM, and completed a Silicon Valley thesis before launching his company.

His specialties span strong two-factor authentication, security analysis and audits, complex web and middleware development, and IoT/nano-computer projects using BeagleBone and Raspberry Pi. Beyond technical leadership he remains hands-on in product management and practical deployments, and he volunteers leadership locally as president of Showband Les Armourins. Based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, he blends electronics craftsmanship with pragmatic security-first software engineering.
