Transcript

My name is Robin Tickle. I’m a Tantalus Senior Consultant based in Switzerland. I really enjoy serving as trusted advisor to our clients helping them navigate business and reputational challenges in the current geopolitical environment.

I have 30 years international experience in both Strategic Communications and Management, advising top business executives and government ministers. One of my key strengths is combining big picture strategic vision with strong focus on operational execution.

I started my professional life as a political analyst at UBS before becoming involved in intergovernmental free trade negotiations. I was then appointed as Head of Communications of the Swiss Ministry of Economic Affairs and later joined the Nestle Group where I was head of Corporate Communications for 10 years.

Conversations with clients mostly start with issues requiring urgent attention but they often later changed to wider more fundamental discussions on ways to improve business performance. So whatever business or reputational challenges you face I’m very much looking forward to starting a conversation with you.
