CEO Speech by Josua Regez

To thunderous applause, our CEO Josua Regez enters the stage and gives the starting signal for our annual kickoff. It is impossible not to hear: This crew is hungry for more and ready to tackle the year. After a short review of the past year, with the biggest highlights and lowlights, Josua Regez takes us on a journey into the future. We are in the year 2027 and Bilanz has published an article about isolutions: «isolutions, with its 500 employees, has been a leading Microsoft partner for years and decorates its customer portfolio with very successful mid-sized Swiss SMEs from all industries. This cloud transformation company is different from many of its competitors. Today, the isolutions crew is considered the benchmark when it comes to successfully implementing creative and transformational programs in the high-end SME segment.» - a vision we pursue today and which this article reflects in a humorous as well as emotional way.

Keynote Marc Weber, CEO VZ Depotbank

But the journey into the future does not end here. Marc Weber, CEO of VZ Depotbank, enters the stage and it quickly becomes clear that VZ Depotbank has big plans. They want to become the most digital bank in Switzerland. In an entertaining speech, Marc Weber explains to us what they have achieved in this area so far. And this is where their mission continues. With various partners and innovative measures, they will continue to pursue their stated goal in 2023. After these inspiring words, it is clear to everyone: VZ Depotbank is on the rise and will revolutionize the industry.

Business Speed Datings

In a good mood and hyped up, it's off to the business speed dating sessions. A total of six sessions will be held on different business areas. The focus: What topics will move us in 2023 and what can we contribute as a whole company to the success of the respective areas. The common thread is quickly found here as well: Together we want to bring our customers further forward - bigger, better, changed!

Our isolutions Heros

During the break, there is a lively exchange between the employees. The questions, «Which sessions did you attend?» followed by «And what was your takeaway?» are several times asked in the halls of the Convention Center. And the next highlight follows. The announcement of our isolutions Heros. Every year, the isolutions crew has the opportunity to choose two people who have made special achievements this year. Be it that one person has been particularly involved in a project or has supported the crew tirelessly in all matters. As surprisingly there is a live broadcast from Barcelona, it is clear that one Hero comes from our Barcelona Crew and so it is. Visibly touched, Karolin Kerth, accounting specialist, steps in front of the camera. Karolin is greeted and celebrated loudly. Karolin is joined by Dennis Kraus, System Architect. He, too, accepts the isolutions Hero Award with gratitude and well deserved. And once again: Congratulations to both of you! You have more than earned this title and we appreciate your commitment enormously.

The isolutions Heros

After the last part in the plenum and a little refreshment at noon, we find ourselves in the afternoon in our respective teams. The program looks very different. From retro perspectives to workshops and teamwork. But one theme is common to all teams: through mutual empowerment, we want to achieve more together and offer our customers sustainable added value. After just under three hours, we move on one stop. Everyone gathers at the Iris Bar at The Circle. Together we toast the new year and bring the 2023 annual kickoff to a close.
