Meet the Manager is an event series fully supported by the students of the Next in Management program at Franklin University Switzerland, under the direction of the Division of Business and Economics and in collaboration with the Office of Marketing. Designed to connect CEOs, top managers, and industry leaders with students, the series fosters direct interaction, networking opportunities, and the exchange of fresh perspectives between professionals and Franklin’s dynamic student body.
For this session, we are pleased to welcome Olivier Knutti, Managing Director of 88K, a Swiss brokerage specializing in pre-owned business jets. Each year, 88K oversees around 20 transactions ranging from private clients to corporations and airlines. Olivier will share insider perspectives on aircraft valuation, the transaction process, and the challenges facing today’s aviation market, while also reflecting on hiring and regulatory issues in Switzerland. This event offers students a unique opportunity to gain direct insight from an experienced leader in the global aircraft brokerage field.
