Business Development

Rico Dähler

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Rico joined us as a trainee back in 2021 and quickly came on board as a full-time Analyst. In 2022, he began building our business development practice, taking over the helm in September 2024. His main responsibility is supporting our portfolio companies by functioning as a bridge to Swisscom and the Swiss ecosystem, as well as actively driving projects with Swisscom.

Before joining Swisscom Ventures, Rico worked in consulting and strategy positions. He also did a short stint at rready, one of our fast-growing portfolio companies. He studied business at the University of Applied Sciences in Zurich and received his Masters of Science from ESADE Barcelona & HEC Paris.

On a personal note: Outside the office, you’ll find Rico doing sports, diving into books, or jamming in his music studio.
