BRISTOL, UK (July 8, 2025) – Pax8, the leading cloud commerce Marketplace, is excited to announce the expansion of its presence in Switzerland with the appointment of two experienced sales professionals, Cyril Schmid and Gilles Herweijer, as Partner Account Managers. The move marks a significant milestone in Pax8’s commitment to delivering high-touch, localised support to managed service providers (MSPs) across the region.
Operating from the newly established Pax8 office at The Circle – Zurich’s premier technology hub adjacent to the airport – Schmid and Herweijer will lead the Pax8’s efforts to deepen relationships with Swiss partners. The Zurich office also reinforces Pax8’s strategic alliance with Microsoft Switzerland, with both companies sharing infrastructure at the site.
“The Swiss market is unique – it values trust, service, and quality above all,” said Thorsten Oevel, Sales Director DACH at Pax8. “Cyril and Gilles bring not only deep industry expertise but also a strong understanding of the local channel landscape. Their appointment reflects our long-term commitment to building meaningful, lasting partnerships in Switzerland.”
“We warmly welcome Pax8 to Switzerland,” added Thomas Rupp, Partner Solution Sales Director at Microsoft Switzerland. “Their decision to establish a local presence in close proximity to our Zurich office fosters collaboration, trust, and new opportunities for our shared partner ecosystem.”
With a focus on quality over quantity, Pax8’s Swiss expansion is designed to support small and medium-sized MSPs through tailored enablement programmes, access to the full DACH resource network, and a commitment to partner success. The company’s approach has already resonated with local partners.
“With Pax8, we’ve found a partner who truly understands our needs – both technically and commercially,” said Tobias Britt, CEO of iunctum, a Switzerland-based technology provider. “Their investment in the Swiss market is a strong signal of support for our channel culture.”
The new appointments were formally introduced at a joint event with Microsoft Switzerland in June.
