WHO I AM & WHAT I DO

Natalia Monnard Female Entrepreneur and Consultant

With 15 years of full-time professional experience and Executive MBA graduate IMD, International Institute for Management Development, I have worked with international teams across different countries and business regions and pivoted through various management and advisory roles in three key fields: financial services, IT and entrepreneurship.

I currently lead the Swiss and Austrian IT consulting branch for the Business Intelligence giant, Microstrategy. Before this, I spent 10 years at the largest Wealth Manager in the world, UBS, where, I held positions such as Chief of Staff EU and Emerging Markets, a unit of over 445bn in invested assets and 2000 staff.

In August 2020 I founded my second company, a natural cosmetics company with a sustainability focus:

In 2010 I set up my own bakery business yielding  profitable growth for over 3 years. Since then, I advise midsize companies and startups in different industries on topics such as growth, customer experience and business model transformation.

I believe in purpose and culture as key success factors and the basis of high performing teams. Agility, scaling customisation and customer centricity will drive business growth; companies need to be part of their customers' life, just a product or service wont do.   Finally, fun! Enabling an environment where you are able to laugh and be creative yields better results and simply makes life better!

This cult movie is a technical masterpiece in stop-motion that took about three years to be completed. Danny Elfman created the soundtrack and the iconic song "What's this" interpreted by the main character Jack Skellington.

This strategy and business innovation case explores how innovative business models disrupt traditional industries, especially if those industries are not able to self-cannibalize. It covers the key elements of successful platform strategy (network effects, the importance of scaling and automation) as well as the platform paradox and the strategic choices needed when growing from a start-up into an established company.
