Sebastian Schirmer is a versatile leader with 11+ years bridging startup grit and enterprise-grade IT, currently running a dog training school in Zurich while drawing on a deep background in digitalization, BI and SaaS. He co-founded and scaled Quiply from prototype to a paying customer base, leading product, sales, customer success, operations and HR while closing a pre-seed round and implementing privacy processes. Before that he spent a decade at Swiss Re directing global BI teams, owning change-management and Solvency II/ risk reporting IT programs that balanced technical delivery with regulatory rigor. Comfortable both in frontend UI work and strategic program management, he combines hands-on product instincts with people leadership across distributed teams. An engineer by training with a Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur from KIT, he pairs analytical discipline with an unusual pivot into professional dog training—evidence of practical curiosity and a talent for translating complex behavior into actionable coaching.
