Andri Hinnen returns to his Alma Mater as Personality in Residence at SQUARE. His residency with us includes course visits, large and intimate public events and of course guest lectures in some of our courses. He will be focussing on entrepreneurship, creativity and communication. Take advantage of this inspiring personality's visit to get to know his visions and experience insights into the transformative potential of stories and storytelling in a completely new way.
Andri Hinnen made his breakthrough onto the Swiss film scene with Unter Wasser atmen. The award-winning film deals with a tragic motorbike accident that forces a young high diver into a wheelchair and robs him of his ability to speak. Despite this terrible misfortune, the film impressively shows how even in a seemingly hopeless situation, life can bring joy and a career is possible.
But Andri Hinnen is not only a creative and sensitive filmmaker, he is also a very successful entrepreneur. Together with Zense, Andri Hinnen founded the somewhat different Consultancy Agency in September 2013. With this agency, he advises companies and public figures on visualisation, storytelling and sensemaking in organisations. This has made him a true Swiss and HSG model entrepreneur.

“Stories give us the strength to recognise and create meaning in our chaotic lives, and simply to find our way around a little better.”
