The speaker of the Night is Simon Hofer, CEO & Co-Founder, CareerLunch
Simon co-founded CareerLunch, a platform that facilitates informal meetings between top talents and top companies. For talents, it’s an opportunity to get authentic insights, network with industry professionals, and get hired. For companies, it’s an opportunity to make their culture tangible, grow their talent pool, and recruit. Simon also initiated DetectNow, a non-profit that aims to build an AI to detect COVID-19 from cough sound recordings. The project won the #CodeVsCovid19 hackathon in 2020.
Previously, he studied simultaneously in the two full-time programs, the MSc in Statistics at ETH Zurich and the MA in Strategy and International Management (SIM) at the University of St. Gallen. After he got kicked out of ETH Zurich for his double-enrolment (turns out this is not allowed), he co-founded two companies before graduating from the University of St. Gallen. In 2018, he represented Switzerland at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA).
