From Ambassador to Power Broker: How Thomas Borer Shapes Influence in Swiss and Global Affairs
In a 2014 interview with the Le Temps, Dr. Thomas Borer reflects on his move from being Swiss ambassador to Germany to starting his firm Dr. Borer Consulting, in which he crafts multi-step strategies, taps political and administrative networks, and uses media pressure only when necessary. His cases range from cross-border tax disputes to energy and resource negotiations, and he is known for taking on causes he deems just. In 2007–2008, he warned of the coming collapse of Swiss bank secrecy, citing political complacency as a national weakness. Looking ahead, he sees tax alignment and EU isolation as key challenges.
