Andreas has many years of management experience as CEO of high-tech, medical technology and industrial groups. He also knows ERNI as a member of the Board of Directors for several years.
Christoph leaves the company and accepts a new challenge: He becomes a member of the Swisscom Executive Board and thus climbs the career ladder. Christoph will take up his new position on 1 February 2019 and will continue to work for ERNI until he leaves the company. His exact tasks will be clarified in the near future in close dialogue with Andreas.
“I am happy that this opportunity has arisen for Christoph and that he can pursue this career path,” says Daniel Erni, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ERNI Global. At the same time, he notes: “Last year we initiated the new direction at ERNI, which we are now consistently continuing with Andreas as an experienced leader.”
On behalf of the Board of Directors, he thanks Christoph and wishes him and Andreas every success in their future challenges.

Profiling memory leaks in Xamarin Forms
I remember one time I was working with a mobile project and it was already deployed to the client. It work out well from planning, development, testing to deployment but after a while the client was clamoring that the app is getting slower and slower when it was continuously being used up to the point where it will just crash suddenly. Well it is a given fact maybe not all but I’m guilty of it that we really love our code, so in that sense I was pointing the blame on maybe the device or something unusual that the client was doing with the Application. To make the long story short I’ve learned that Profilers are programmer’s best friend. -
