Hi, I am Olivier Wicki.Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with football. I dreamed of playing like Ronaldinho, but as I got older, I realized my real strength wasn’t on the field. It was in understanding the game’s strategies and how clubs work behind the scenes.I decided to study business administration, where I learned how to create a strategy and set actions in a corporate environment. But my passion for football never left me. To get closer to the football world, I started working in strategy consulting. This gave me the skills I needed to approach football from a new angle.While working as a strategy consultant, I went on to get a master’s degree in sports management. My thesis was a turning point—I created a model to assist football clubs in setting up a data-driven scouting and recruitment department.Now, I’m balancing two different paths. At eraneos, I’m a strategy consultant, constantly sharpening my skills. At the same time, I’m working at MRKT Insights to help football clubs in the DACH region find and develop new talent.I may not have become the Swiss Ronaldinho, but I’ve found my purpose in helping clubs discover future stars. In a way, I’ve made my childhood dream come true—just in a different way.
