• Turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.
27+ Years of Leadership Experience

In 1986 Dr. Zweifel was thrust into leadership as global campaign manager for an international organization on the roster of the United Nations. In charge of campaign results in 27

In 1997 THOMAS ZWEIFEL co-founded Swiss Consulting Group a global performance management company based in New York City that
was recognized as a “Fast Company” by Fast Company magazine. Since then, Dr. Zweifel has coached and trained business leaders and public servants to create and achieve their vision, and
