Management

Personalities with responsibility

  • Mathias Walther

    Founder & CEO

    As Founder & CEO of the ARTIAS Group, Mathias Walther is responsible for the strategic direction and long-term development of the group. He defines the entrepreneurial vision, evaluates new business fields and creates the strategic framework for sustainable growth.

    His degree in economics from the University of Basel gives him a sound understanding of micro- and macroeconomic relationships and their influence on markets, companies and investment decisions. This perspective forms the basis for a forward-looking, economically sound corporate strategy.

    In close cooperation with the operational management and the advisory board, he accompanies the further development of the ARTIAS Group, focusing on sustainable value creation, entrepreneurial stability and long-term success.

  • Arta Walther-Nuredini

    COO

    As COO of the ARTIAS Group, Arta Walther, a business lawyer and certified fiduciary expert, combines sound financial and leadership expertise with extensive experience in real estate development and the execution of demanding construction and renovation projects.

    Through her many years as CFO and member of executive management, she has extensive expertise in corporate management, financial planning, investment analysis, risk management and project management.

    Her business profile is complemented by many years of hands-on experience from construction and renovation projects in the family business – from construction processes, cost management and tendering through project coordination to operational execution.

    This combination enables her to manage real estate projects holistically – from investment analysis and planning to successful realisation.

    Under her operational leadership, the ARTIAS Group is committed to developing economically sustainable, high-quality and architecturally convincing real estate projects.

    In looking for people to hire, look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.

    This is exactly how she selects her partners and employees.

Advisory board

  • Laura Fontana

    Advisory board member · Attorney at law & public notary

    A graduate of the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and attorney at law, she has more than ten years of experience in corporate law, corporate finance and M&A. Her positions at renowned Swiss business law firms have given her extensive experience in complex contractual and transaction structures.

    This makes her an important sparring partner for the ARTIAS Group on project financing, investment structures and contractual matters.

    This combination of legal expertise, transaction experience and a practical understanding of real estate projects makes her a valuable sparring partner for the ARTIAS Group — particularly in the legal support of project financing, investment structures and contractual matters.
