Stefan Huber

Stefan Huber is a Swiss corporate-finance and turnaround specialist who has spent his career at Helbling Business Advisors AG, the strategy/operations/finance consulting arm of the Zurich-based Helbling Group (founded 1963). Per his professional profile, he joined Helbling Business Advisors in 1995 as a Senior Manager, became CEO in 1999, was appointed to the Helbling Group Executive Committee in 2007, and was elevated to CEO and Partner in 2010. He studied Economics at the University of St. Gallen (HSG) from 1990 to 1994 (lic. oec. HSG), specializing in Organisation.

Over roughly three decades he has executed a large number of transactions — buy- and sell-side M&A, management buy-outs, fundraisings, refinancings, and distressed/restructuring situations — with particular depth in turnaround management and the manufacturing industry. His stated skill set spans M&A, turnaround management, succession planning, refinancing, and leadership development.

He is listed as an angel investor (Foundersuite investor directory), consistent with the firm-domain email above and a seed-stage focus. Public, primary-source detail on his individual angel portfolio is limited, so specific deals are not confirmed here rather than guessed.

Note on current status: the Helbling Group's present management roster (2026) lists Dr. Urban Schnell as Group CEO and Thomas Bertschinger as Managing Director/Partner of the Business Advisors unit, and does not display Stefan Huber. His CEO/Partner title for Helbling Business Advisors is well documented historically; his exact current role at the firm could not be independently reconfirmed and should be verified directly.

• Invests as an angel at the seed stage, in an individual capacity alongside a career in corporate advisory.
• Domain strength in industrials/manufacturing, corporate finance, M&A, and turnaround/restructuring — likely to favor companies where operational and financial discipline matter.
• Geography: Switzerland and the broader DACH market, matching Helbling's footprint (Zurich, Bern, Wil, Aarau, Munich, Düsseldorf).
• No publicly stated, self-authored investment thesis was found; the above is inferred from his professional profile and directory listing rather than his own words.
