Crans-Montana, 25th November 2024 – Les Roches is proud to announce its role as a principal partner and host of the prestigious Swiss Who’s Who Talent Awards 2024. This exceptional event will take place on December 13 at the Les Roches campus in Crans-Montana, celebrating five influential and inspiring figures from Switzerland in a ceremony dedicated to showcasing talent and leadership across diverse fields.

An Inspiring Encounter with Role Models of Success

The awards ceremony will feature prominent figures such as Paolo Basso, named Best Sommelier in the World in 2013; Daniele Finzi Pasca, director of the 2019 Fête des Vignerons; Raymond Loretan, former diplomat and Executive President of Swiss Medical Network; Michel Mayor, Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist in 2019; and Chris McSorley, former coach and sports director of Genève-Servette Hockey Club and current sports director of HC Sierre. Each nominee represents a unique source of inspiration for the next generation of leaders.
The awards ceremony is more than an event; it symbolizes a passing of the torch between generations.
At Les Roches, we strive to be a place where young people can draw inspiration from exemplary figures. We hope this direct encounter with today’s leaders will encourage tomorrow’s leaders to dream big and pursue excellence.
Recognizing Talent with Global Influence
The concept of the Who’s Who, an iconic institution founded in the United Kingdom in 1849, aimed to catalog the names and biographies of influential individuals. Over the years, this idea expanded to include national and regional versions, honoring emerging leaders, entrepreneurs, and artists alongside established figures.
The Swiss Who’s Who Talent Awards are more than just a recognition; they are a source of inspiration and a symbol of hope for the next generation. By celebrating the exceptional achievements of our honorees, we aim to encourage young people to follow their ambitions and become the leaders of tomorrow. We are honored to collaborate with Les Roches, an institution that shares our vision of a future where excellence and innovation drive success.
By partnering with the Swiss Who’s Who Talent Awards, Les Roches reaffirms its position as a leader in shaping the next generation of talent, emphasizing cutting-edge education and excellence. The school continually invests in its students’ learning experience, as exemplified by the recent renovation of its Crans-Montana campus, a modern space designed to meet the demands of the hospitality industry.
