Jonas Schär Takes Over Development Leadership from Andreas Kleiner, Who Will Focus on Customer Service

Andreas Kleiner, co-founder and former Head of Development, handed over the leadership of the department to Jonas Schär on July 1. Andreas Kleiner will now focus on the strategic and operational development of Customer Service – a move that underlines SWISCA’s commitment to first-class customer support.
