People and connection are vital for team success and transformation, fueling collaboration and adaptability towards common objectives.
Our company
Vowels are self-sounding letters, which can flow out of the mouth without great obstacles. Exactly in this way we want to shape transformations together with the companies we accompany and thus ensure the way into the future.
We are AOAIO, a Swiss consulting boutique founded in 2019 by a team of visionary transformation experts, seasoned management consultants, trusted advisors and passionate entrepreneurs – and we are vocal about transformation. AOAIO is the extract of the vowels of the word transformation.
We are not ANY consulting firm. We use all our skills and accumulated experience in working with companies to achieve the greatest impact. In doing so, we look for the most suitable approaches and help our clients overcome even the most unusual challenges to achieve more .
We believe that long-term valued and sustainable transformation is the symbiosis of technology, organisation and cultural change to be ready to move into the future in a creative way.
Our core values
People buy from and work with people – not companies. We are a strong team of talented characters that aim for long-term relationships and want to become your Trusted Advisors and Reliable Partners.
We are highly motivated and commited for our cause and deliver outstanding results for our clients.
In all we do, we rigorously focus on sustainable customer value. We provide tailor-made solutions that are based on our proven methods and approaches with focus on high quality and best fit for our clients.
Both internally and with our customers, we foster an honest, sincere and empathic dialogue at eye level. Even delicate and difficult issues are addressed directly and in a solution-oriented and respectful manner.
Our team
We are all different, but we have one thing in common: enthusiasm for our work. As a team, we pursue the goal of creating changes with our customers that make a difference and revolutionise the world of tomorrow.
Paolo Küttel
As a founding member, Paolo can look back on over 30 years of practical experience. With his extensive technological background, he mainly supports our customers in technological aspects such as IT strategy or IT architectures – of course always with the holistic approach that characterises AOAIO.
Paolo loves to be constantly on the move – not only mentally but also physically, both indoors and outdoors (yoga, fitness, jogging, dog walking, etc.). He enjoys relaxing in a stimulating atmosphere with good friends.
Tom Ritsch
Tom is the co-founder of AOAIO. After several years in management consulting, Tom focussed on his own start-up in the sports industry. In 2015, an exciting M&A project brought him back into contact with consulting and the entire transformation process. Tom specialises in C-level sparring mandates and human transformation. Within AOAIO, he is responsible for the ERP system, HR and several other administrative areas.
Tom has been happily married since 2004
and enjoys spending his free time on his mountain bike or with a golf club. Fun is rarely neglected and is therefore an important part of spending time with friends.
Michelle Beacock
Michelle is AOAIO’s youngest employee, joining in 2022. In her years of helping large companies transform their business with IT solutions, she has realised that successful transformations happen when they are approached holistically and not as an IT-only issue. Michelle has worked in various industries and brings an additional sales perspective to her transformational mindset.
In her free time, Michelle spends sunny days on the golf course and rainy days reading a good book. Regardless of the weather, she always enjoys a good meal with friends and travelling to discover the world.
