Generation change at HR Campus
After more than 20 years of management, company founder Marek Dutkiewicz is handing over the reins of the HR consulting company to a dynamic management team headed by Moritz Marti as CEO as of 01.01.2020.
Last year HR Campus celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the company. The company has doubled in size in the last five years to 160 employees, which has significantly changed the company structure. As one of the first HR consulting firms in Switzerland, HR Campus invested in cloud technology and the rejuvenation of the company. The goal was to prepare HR Campus for the future, to further expand its successful market position in order to live the mission "Happy Employee, Happy Company" itself and to make it a reality in other companies, as it says.
Professionally accompanied generation change
Together with the University of St. Gallen, the generational change was carefully planned and prepared over several years without any time pressure. Together with the Dutkiewicz family and the management, Dr. Frank Halter drew up a comprehensive corporate succession plan. "The collaboration was exemplary and particularly gripping. At HR Campus, Swiss innovation meets Polish roots. This powerful combination is and remains the cornerstone of the successful family business," says Frank Halter. HR Campus focuses on independence and remains a true family business so that the fresh, familiar and somewhat crazy culture is preserved. The three children have also been active in the company for several years and wife Danuta Dutkiewicz has contributed a great deal to the company's development and culture as a long-time employee. The two sons Philippe and Dominik Dutkiewicz help shape the company as part of the management team and daughter Livia Dutkiewicz gives the company its face with marketing management.
Young management team takes the helm
The five-member management team, also known as the Fiveboard, is made up of two longstanding employees Simone and Daniel Burgener, as well as the two sons Dominik and Philippe and the new CEO Moritz Marti. With Moritz, a long-standing member of the management team follows in the footsteps of Marek Dutkiewicz. Thanks to ten years of corporate experience, he carries the vision of HR Campus deep in his heart. For Moritz, who studied social sciences and business administration, it is clear: "We are delighted to take on this responsible task as a young but experienced management team. With Marek Dutkiewicz as our mentor, we are consistently pursuing the course we have taken in recent years and continue to build on our unique values. The decisive factors of our success will continue to be our team spirit and each individual employee."
Set on continuity
Marek is delighted with the generational change: "HR Campus has evolved from a pioneer to a market leader over the past 20 years, not least because of the high level of personal responsibility and agility of the young guard. I am delighted to entrust my legacy to this fresh and dynamic group." Marek is retiring from operational management, but will remain part of the Board of Directors as a visionary and will advise the Executive Board as a mentor and sparring partner. The family-owned company continues to focus on state-of-the-art HR software, holistic HR services and personal HR strategy consulting. HR Campus is one of the most experienced HR consultancies in Switzerland and aims to further consolidate this position as an HR opinion leader and market leader.
