Stéphane Bonvin founded Investis in 1994 and has served as its Chief Executive Officer ever since. Under his leadership, the Group has focused on owning and managing its own real estate portfolio, primarily composed of residential properties in prime locations around Lake Geneva. The Company’s strategy is centred on generating steady rental income while ensuring long-term capital appreciation.
With nearly four decades of experience in the property sector, Stéphane Bonvin has drawn on his extensive market knowledge and strong professional network to steadily expand the portfolio. In 2010, he diversified the Group’s activities by entering the property services sector, establishing Investis as a national player in this field. In June 2024, the Group divested all its property services activities, repositioning itself as a pure real estate company with a clear focus on residential property in the Lake Geneva region.
In addition to his role at Investis, Stéphane Bonvin currently serves on several private company boards. He has been a member of the Board of Directors of PHM Group TopCo Oy since 2024, is the owner of Be Capital and its subsidiaries (since 2015) and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of PassionSchneesport.
Previously, he was a member of the Supervisory Board of Patrimonium and its subsidiaries from 2006 to 2022. For further details on his mandates outside the Group, please see chapter 7 of the Compensation Report.
