About

Gregor Schmid

I am a veterinarian (Dr. med. vet., University of Bern), entrepreneur, and clinic director, and former partner, co-owner and later sole owner of Tierklinik Thun. After selling the clinic, I took on senior management roles in an international veterinary group and gained valuable corporate experience. This combination of entrepreneurial leadership and corporate practice enables me to advise both independent practices and larger organizations in a well-founded way. In addition, my initial agricultural training gives me a deep understanding of large-animal practices and agricultural enterprises.
