says Stefan Muehlemann, Founder & CEO of Loanboox. In addition to Ehrat and Chairman Muehlemann, the two Co-Founders Dario Zogg and Andi Burri are still members of the Board of Directors.
Ehrat on his new mandate:
Loanboox fascinates me because the company and its employees use the possibilities of modern technology in an important area of the financial industry, combining it with a great deal of enthusiasm and empathy, and thus providing the increased transparency that results in deep benefits for the customers.
