11/05/26 | Orangerie Basel

The event will take place on Thursday, November 5th, 2026 starting at 5:00 pm at the Orangerie Basel. Without a stage, but with profoundness.

Our aim is to offer a platform for executives from diverse industries to share their personal journeys, challenges, and turning points openly and authentically.

Often, the most valuable conversations happen in between. That is why the evening will conclude with a relaxed networking apéro complemented by appetizers and drinks from Vinaiolo and Etna Pasticceria.

What to Expect?

Life paths, not résumés
Executives Hautnah is not an event about careers, but about character. It is not about résumés, but about the journeys behind them. About decisions shaped by responsibility, change, and people.

Three experienced executives will share insights into their very personal leadership journeys:

Roger Furrer | Dr. Isabelle Dahinden | Andreas Wüthrich

The evening will be hosted by Adriana Qamar, Senior Consultant for Executive Search at Coopers Executive Search.

Impressions Executives Up Close April 2026

Werner Holdener , Lead Competence Center Application Management, Die Schweizerische Post

It's all about our business manager in Bern! Her professional approach and her good networking do not simply provide us with skills and resources, but with personalities that suit our team. She does this fast, transparently and fairly. This is how I imagine long-term business relationships.

Anonymous , Participant Executives Up Close 2025

My overall feedback is entirely positive. I thought the event was great, especially the opportunity to talk and exchange ideas with each other afterwards. This networking part is a very valuable component. Once again, a big thank you to the entire Cooper's team for the excellent organization of the event and for inviting me!
