Dominik Koechlin (born March 18, 1959 in Basel ; † July 12, 2015 there ) was a Swiss manager in the telecommunications industry.

Life

Dominik Koechlin grew up in Bern as the son of Samuel Koechlin and Christiane Koechlin-Sarasin. He completed a law degree at the University of Bern , where he also received his doctorate , and did a complementary degree at the private business school Insead in Fontainebleau . Koechlin started his professional life at Bank Sarasin in Basel. He later founded the environmental consultancy Ellipson. Then he switched to the telecommunications industry. As a lawyer, he was head of strategy at Swisscom , the telecommunications part of the former Swiss PTT . From 1996 to 2000 he was a member of the executive board and was therefore jointly responsible for the IPO of Swisscom in 1998. After disagreements with the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Swisscom, Markus Rauh , he left the company. From 2006 until his death he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Avaloq Group. From 2008 he was a member of the Board of Directors of Clariant and from 2010 a member of the Presidium of Sunrise Communications , Swisscom's main competitor, where he was its Chairman of the Board of Directors until his death. The stock market flotation of Sunrise 2015 can be seen as the culmination of the work of Koechlin and Sunrise boss Libor Voncina , wrote the NZZ . A success that would have been unthinkable without Koechlin and Voncina. The Basler Zeitung wrote in the obituary: He was probably the only one who closely followed two IPOs of telecommunications companies in Switzerland. Koechlin died on July 12, 2015 in Basel.
