André Schneider

Executive on-call consultant to NACO’s Aviation Advisory team, former CEO at Genève Aéroport, and an experienced leader with deep experience in developing and implementing strategies, especially in sustainable development.

André Schneider, after having been a professional musician in major classical orchestras, developed his first experiences when IBM decided to go into services and asked him to create an IT consulting practice in Geneva.

He then joined the World Economic Forum and was instrumental during his 12 years in creating the world’s leading global multi-stakeholder platform, finally globalising this concept by expanding it around the world.

With his advisory, André has been quickly developing projects and thought leadership in many important issues around sustainable development. After this, André joined EPFL as Vice-President for Resources and Infrastructures for three years. From 1 September 2016 until 30 September 2024, André was the CEO of Genève Aéroport.

André is also the chairman of the innovation board of the Aviation Research Center Switzerland; chairman of the World Climate Foundation; vice-chairman of Global Infrastructure Basel; and member of the Globethics board.
