Following an Extraordinary General Meeting in December 2025, Adfinis is pleased to announce the election of Christian Affolter to the Board of Directors. As the company embarks on its next five-year strategy, Christian’s deep technical expertise and organizational knowledge will play an instrumental role in shaping the future direction of Adfinis.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 19, 2025, Adfinis shareholders officially elected Christian Affolter as the newest member of the Board. This strategic appointment follows the departure of two long-standing Board members, and represents a key step in further developing the company’s next strategic growth cycle.
Christian, a long-standing shareholder and technical expert within the company’s Cloud Native value stream, was identified as an ideal candidate in bridging deep organizational knowledge with strategic leadership.
“Christian is intimately familiar with our unique Adfinis culture and values,” says Sandro Köchli, Vice Chair of the Board. “With his ability to bridge strategic perspective with daily operations, his addition will be vital as we define the company goals for the years ahead.”
The election followed a planned transition within the Board's leadership. As was announced in November 2025, Adfinis Chief Operating Officer (COO) Thomas Köchli has stepped down from the Adfinis Executive Management team and Board of Directors following a personal decision to resign from the company, effective January 31, 2026. Ralf Scharly also stepped down from the Board in late 2025, placing greater focus on his ongoing role as Country Manager for Adfinis Germany, where he remains a vital driver of the company’s continued growth.
“The entire Board of Directors is thankful for the valuable contributions that both Thomas and Ralf have made over the years,” says Michael Moser, Chair of the Board and Chief Strategy & Growth Officer. Following their respective decisions to step down from the Board, we are committed to remaining well-positioned for Adfinis’s long-term success, and look forward to the next phase of growth and innovation.”
With these updates, Adfinis enters the first quarter of 2026 with a reinforced leadership structure that ensures that its strategic direction remains rooted in the core values that have defined Adfinis for over two decades.
As of March 2026, the Adfinis Board of Directors consists of:
Chair of the Board: Michael Moser
Deputy / Vice Chair of the Board: Sandro Köchli
Members of the Board: Michael Moser, Nicolas Christener, Sandro Köchli, Christian Affolter
