I’ve been enjoying working with Alex for many years. He has a tremendous understanding of sensitive business situations. His intellect brings clarity where others see only confusion.
Alexander is a bright, conscientious and trustworthy person.
Alexander ist ein herausragender ehemaliger Kollege. Das Thema Compliance, Anti-Fraud und Untersuchung von wirtschaftskriminellen Handlungen liegt ihm sehr und die Zusammenarbeit hat sehr gut funktioniert. Er weiss immer genau wovon er redet. Gerne wieder. Weiterhin viel Erfolg.
I'm working with Alexander at HSG. Impressed with his innovative mind, his execution skills and presentation talents. Looking forward to future collaborations.
I've known Alex for over 10 years. He understands very well the mindset of those who misbehave. He also recognizes rare patterns. This ability is a great benefit for companies - not only for prevention but also for detection.
Die Fraud-Schulungen von Alexander Schuchter waren für mich sehr bereichernd. Das Seminar war praxisnah, kurzweilig und kann sehr gut auf die Arbeit der Internen Revision oder Compliance übertragen werden. Ich freue mich auf weitere Vertiefungen!
