Welcome Weibel Hess Partners of Switzerland

Join us in welcoming Weibel Hess Partners (WHP) of Switzerland to the Asinta Partnership! WHP was founded in 1995, and has offices in Zurich and Lucerne (HQ). Their services include comprehensive financial and insurance advice for both companies and individuals.

“One reason Asinta was interested in having Weibel Hess join the Asinta Partnership is that they offer a full scope of advisory and implementation services across all types of employee benefits from the Swiss point of view,” says Wendi Pickerel, Asinta’s Executive Global Director. “Also, they demonstrate not only a willingness to provide excellent local support and service to Asinta Partners’ clients, but also a keen interest in collaborating on new global business that they manage and develop.”

Their employee benefits expertise lies in worker’s compensation, health insurance pension fund consulting, group accident and disability insurance. Other services include payroll and actuary. WHP offers a comprehensive financial insurance consulting for companies. This includes employee benefit plans, benchmarking, insurance checks, employee communication, pension planning seminars and reinsurance for pensions and contracts. WHP’s clients include over 600 corporate clients in the bio and med tech industries as well as IT, financial services, retail and engineering. They also serve nonprofit organizations.

Othmar Erni is serving as Asinta’s primary contact for WHP. He is a senior consultant and branch manager in the Zurich office with over 30 years experience in the employee benefits industry. He speaks German, English and French. You can reach him at o.erni@whp.ch.

“We want to bring Switzerland closer for the Asinta Partners,” says Othmar.  “We are a wealthy country with banks, pharma companies, insurance companies, cheese and chocolate, beautiful nature and old traditions, and we are also a successful hub for international companies and new technologies. WHP has extensive international employee benefits experience, and has a firm grasp of how to effectively serve multinational employers. We are prepared to invest in long-term customer relationships and to contribute our know-how of the local market.”
