RT @xtinafile: Christina Aguilera ft. Demi Lovato - Fall in Line (Billboard Music Awards) (2018)

Next week, it is finally time again for the annual check-in in Rotkreuz: the Crypto Valley Conference - @CVConf_ . This year, I am particularly looking forward to it, as I had the opportunity to put together a panel around a topic that is especially close to our hearts within the Crypto Valley Association - @thecryptovalley -Sustainability Working Group and that touches the very core of the decentralized AI debate: healthcare. 🎤 “Decentralized AI, Data and Trust – Healthcare as a Real-World Case of Trusted Digital Infrastructure” Right now, an enormous amount is being decided in this field. 🔸 How we govern health data. 🔸 How we build trust into digital infrastructure. 🔸 How AI will be trained in the future. 🔸 Who controls patient-generated data. 🔸 How legal frameworks evolve around AI-agents, liability and decentralized systems. 🔸 And ultimately: how individuals will navigate healthspan, longevity and wealthspan over decades to come. I will have the pleasure of discussing these questions together with an exceptional group of panelists: 🌟 Carmen Cucul - @CarmenCucul 🌟 Nadine Esposito 🌟 Eric Neuenschwander 🌟 Tino Ahlers I am very much looking forward to seeing many of you next week in Rotkreuz. Questions you would absolutely want me to ask my panelists? Feel free to send me a DM.

𝐌𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐜𝐡 Die Expertise: da. Das Angebot: durchdacht. Der Preis: gesetzt. Und dann: Funkstille. Nicht sichtbar werden. Nicht auffallen. Lieber unter dem Radar bleiben. Was hinter diesem uns doch allen bekannten Muster steht, habe ich mit Elisabeth Henning in der dritten Folge meines Podcasts The Real Deal. Inside Entrepreneurship besprochen. Elisabeth ist Business-Modell-Architektin und Gründerin der nXt chapters GmbH, Karriere- und Transformations-Coach für Menschen 50 und sie weiss genau, wovon sie spricht. Eine Aussage von ihr ist mir besonders geblieben: „Viele haben ihre Angebote, ihre Preise, ihre Pakete längst vorbereitet. Aber sie gehen trotzdem nicht zu hundert Prozent in die Sichtbarkeit. Warum? Weil dieser bewusste Entscheid, mit dieser Message in die Sichtbarkeit zu gehen, auch bedeutet, ein Stück weit die alte Identität loszulassen.“ Und wie schwierig dieser Schritt sein kann, das weiss ich aus persönlicher Erfahrung. Im Gespräch gehen wir dann auch darauf ein, was Sichtbarkeit bedeutet und was nicht und weshalb es eben nicht einfach Marketing ist. Und wir diskutierten darüber: 🔹 was eine echte Portfolio- oder Fractional-Karriere von einem blossen LinkedIn-Alibi-Profil unterscheidet, 🔹 weshalb viele Menschen zwischen Corporate-Welt und Unternehmertum hängen bleiben, 🔹 warum Sichtbarkeit keine Marketing-Spielerei, sondern wirtschaftliche Grundlage ist, 🔹 weshalb Reichweite alleine noch keine kaufkräftigen Kunden bringt, 🔹 wie man beginnt, den eigenen Tribe aufzubauen, 🔹 warum der Markt häufig zuerst das Angebot korrigiert, das wir ursprünglich verkaufen wollten, 🔹 und was es emotional, wirtschaftlich und persönlich wirklich bedeutet, unter dem eigenen Namen etwas aufzubauen. Und ein Satz, den Elisabeth und ich beide sofort unterschrieben haben: „Wir sind keine Influencerinnen. Wir sind Unternehmerinnen.“ Das ist keine Abgrenzung gegen Sichtbarkeit. Es ist das Bewusstsein und die Klarheit darüber, weshalb wir sichtbar werden. Viele Likes allein bedeuten noch nicht, dass daraus ein tragfähiges Unternehmen entsteht. Dafür braucht es ein solides Geschäftsmodell. Eine klare Positionierung. Ein Angebot, das am Markt wirklich funktioniert. Und vielleicht fast am schwierigsten: Geduld. Das Gras wächst halt auch nicht schneller, nur weil man daran reisst. Darum geht es auch in unserer neuen Webinar-Reihe: Exit & Aufbruch Mut allein macht nicht reich. Über Geschäftsmodell, Steuern und Vermögensaufbau. Aber dazu in Bälde mehr. An dieser Stelle: Vielen Dank für das wunderbare Gespräch, liebe Elisabeth. Ich durfte so viel von dir lernen und für meinen eigenen Unternehmensalltag mitnehmen.

🎤 On 21 May, during the 5th Polish Economic & Technology Forum in Switzerland in Zürich, I will have the great pleasure of speaking together with Florian Müller and Katharina Lasota Heller (@kashulek) on: 🌟 “Mergers & Acquisitions as an Expansion Strategy” A topic that currently carries tremendous relevance, particularly in technology-driven environments where growth, automation, succession planning and cross-border expansion increasingly converge. We will discuss topics such as: 🔸 Share deal vs. asset deal structures 🔸 Financing structures and the Swiss 10/20 non-bank rule or the “bond trap” 🔸 Earn-out clauses and valuation dynamics 🔸 Tax risks in cross-border transactions 🔸 Succession planning and expansion strategies 🔸 Regulatory and practical considerations in Swiss-Polish transactions One of the particularly fascinating dynamics in this space is the intersection between Swiss SMEs, succession planning and highly innovative automation strategies driven by technology-focused players. This creates exciting discussions around structure, financing, operational scaling and long-term value creation across borders. 🌟 The forum has developed into one of the must-attend conferences within the Swiss-Polish business ecosystem, bringing together highly qualitative discussions, outstanding speakers, decision-makers, entrepreneurs and cross-border perspectives from business, law, technology and policy. I am very much looking forward to the exchange and to seeing many familiar faces in Zürich this week. #MergersAndAcquisitions #PrivateEquity #SuccessionPlanning #Switzerland #Poland #CrossBorder #Technology #Automation #Tax #CorporateFinance #SwissBusiness #InternationalTax

The Real Deal. Inside entrepreneurship. Quiet Ascension Day energy today. Podcast prep, research, refining questions, structuring thoughts, moving between different projects and roles throughout the day. Entrepreneurship rarely looks the way it is presented online. A large part of it happens in calmer moments like these: the preparation behind the conversation, the invisible foundation behind what later becomes visible, the constant shift between deep work, visibility, strategy and execution. For me, holidays have long become space for exactly this kind of work. 🎤 And tomorrow, the microphone turns on again. A new episode of The Real Deal. Inside Entrepreneurship. Stay tuned. This time, I will speak with a fabulous entrepreneur and specialist in leadership as well as career planning. I want to know from her what visibility actually means once the old corporate logo disappears and your expertise suddenly has to stand on its own in the market.

Know your straddles. The X-factor in investing. And never let a strangle become a stranglehold. Last week, I had several fascinating conversations around structured products and options strategies. One thing became very clear: many investors buy products linked to options without fully understanding what sits underneath. Take straddles and strangles. In simple terms: 🌟 A straddle combines a call and a put at the same strike price. 🌟 A strangle combines a call and a put at different strike prices. That difference changes the risk profile significantly. A straddle places both options at the same strike. However, both options continuously lose time value (Theta). Even with some market movement, the strategy can still result in a loss if the move is not large enough to offset the premium paid. A strangle works on the same principle, but the options sit at different strike prices. This makes the strategy cheaper upfront because both options are out of the money. The trade-off is significant: markets must move much further before the strategy becomes profitable. The safety net is wider, but also further from the ground. 📈 Why do investors confuse them? Because on the surface, they look similar. Both are built around volatility. Both combine a call and a put. Both appear to “win in both directions.” The difference only becomes visible once markets actually move. The strangle is often marketed as the smarter and cheaper alternative. But "cheaper" also means strikes further apart and therefore significantly more movement required just to break even. If volatility remains moderate, the long strangle can simply expire worthless. Once investors move into short volatility strategies in search of easy yield, the risk profile changes dramatically. With a short strangle, the investor collects the premium upfront, but takes on the obligation to deliver if markets move sharply. Short strangles in particular can carry theoretically unlimited risk on the call side, and substantial downside risk on the put side. That is the real danger: not the strategy, but misunderstanding how much movement is required to make it work and which side of the trade you are actually on. 📈 From a Swiss tax perspective, we generally move within the area of tax-free private capital gains for private investors when it comes to pure options. However, this also means that losses are not deductible. Caution is required: precisely these strategies often involve higher trading frequency, short holding periods, leverage, derivatives and margin trading which can quickly raise questions around a qualification as a professional securities dealer. Volatility rewards the prepared. Whether you hold a straddle or a strangle, the real X-factor is not the market move itself. It is whether you truly understood the structure before the market moved.

„Sei mutig. Werde sichtbar. Mach dein Ding.“ Man kann es als Unternehmerin oder Unternehmer manchmal fast nicht mehr hören. Diese Botschaft ist überall: in Coachings, auf Bühnen und in jedem zweiten LinkedIn-Post. Und ja: Mut ist die Eintrittskarte. Aber Mut allein macht nicht reich. Wer etwas Eigenes aufbaut, merkt schnell: Es geht nicht um Motivationssätze. Es geht um ein Geschäftsmodell, das wirklich trägt. Um Strukturen, die steuerlich funktionieren. Um die Frage, wie aus Honoraren irgendwann Vermögen wird. Und um die unbequemen Themen, über die in der Selbstständigkeit kaum jemand offen spricht. Meine geschätzte Kollegin Elisabeth Henning, und ich kennen diese Fragen aus eigener Erfahrung. Sie als Spezialistin für berufliche Transformation und Business Model Architektin für Top-Führungskräfte 50 , Gründerin der nXt chapters GmbH und langjährige Strategin in der Tech- und IT-Welt. Ich, selbstverständlich, aus der Steuer- und Finanzwelt und Gründerin meines Beratungsunternehmens. Darum haben wir beschlossen, genau diese Gespräche öffentlich zu führen. 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐭 & 𝐀𝐮𝐟𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐡 Mut allein macht nicht reich. Über Geschäftsmodell, Steuern und Vermögensaufbau. Eine neue Reihe: Webinare und ehrliche Gespräche. Und wir machen das nicht alleine. Aber mehr sei an dieser Stelle noch nicht verraten. Bleibt dran!

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. To all entrepreneurs. Understand the tax system. Perspective is what separates the entrepreneur who sees around corners from the one who is always catching up. I see this constantly. 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬. One structure was built with perspective on taxes. The other was built by reacting to the numbers in front of the business. What I mean is: you have to put taxes into perspective. It is not the focus on tax rates alone that is decisive, but the effective tax liability that results in the end. And this is influenced by different factors. Just a few examples through the Swiss tax lens: 🪙 R&D super-deductions, patent box and R&D-related provisions. 🪙 Swiss participation exemption for qualifying dividends and capital gains. 🪙 Holding structures separating operational profit from investment income. 🪙 Debt or equity financing and the impact on the taxable base. 🪙 Timing of income, expenses, depreciation and liquidity. The founders who come out ahead are not always the ones who worked the hardest or grew the fastest. They are the ones who could see the full picture. Who understood that every structural choice is also a tax decision, even when it does not feel like one. Perspective does not make things simpler. It makes them navigable. Let us look at your structure together. One step at a time.

Switzerland extends loss carry-forward period from 7 to 10 years Now it's official 🎉 The law passed in December 2025 and the referendum deadline (the period during which the public could challenge the law) expired on April 17, 2026 without a single challenge. It is now set in stone. Here is what this means for you 👇 🏢 Companies hit by the pandemic. Businesses that suffered significant losses in 2020 and beyond now have three additional years to offset those losses against future profits. 🚀 Startups and scale-ups. A longer ramp-up phase before profitability? The extension from 7 to 10 years gives you more runway to actually use those early losses. 👤 Self-employed individuals. Explicitly covered under income tax and often the ones who need this most. Building something from scratch takes time, and three extra years to offset early losses can make a real difference. 📊 Finance teams and CFOs. Some previously unrecognised DTAs may now qualify for recognition under both Swiss GAAP and IFRS. This is not a "deal with it later" situation, communicate with your stakeholders and make sure your next set of financial statements reflects this change. 🌍 Cross-border structures. The recapture period for foreign PE profits is equally extended from 7 to 10 years. Depending on the applicable double tax treaty, this can have significant implications for profit allocation between jurisdictions. Good news, broadly speaking. But as always, the opportunity is in the planning. 🎯 Stéphanie Fuchs Consulting - Keeping you in the driver's seat with your taxes 🏎️ #SwissTax #Switzerland #TaxPlanning #LossCarryForward #Startups #CFO #CrossBorderTax #IFRS #SwissGAAP
