More than half a century for Ginesta: Thank you, André Ginesta

For more than 50 years, André Ginesta played a key role in shaping the company with his entrepreneurial thinking, strategic flair and great perseverance. From a small, insignificant brokerage firm, he formed a leading Real Estate company that has made a name for itself throughout Switzerland for exceptional and originally exclusive properties. At the same time, he laid the foundations for more than 80 employees to successfully develop the family business today.

Preserving tradition, shaping the future

Ginesta’s roots go back to the founding of the company by Achilles Ginesta in 1944. André Ginesta has built on this foundation – and at the same time consistently developed the company further. With his experience in organization, sales, communication and service design, he brought new structures, clear processes and a modern way of thinking to the company.

He recognized early on how important it was to systematically record properties, customers and market information. With great foresight, he developed analog CRM structures that were ahead of their time and used technical aids early on to make work processes more efficient. André Ginesta was also one of the pioneers in the real estate industry when it came to computerization and digital transformation.

Clear values have always been at the heart of his actions: respectful treatment of employees, trustworthy and personal customer care and uncompromising quality standards. This value system still characterizes Ginesta today and forms the basis for the company’s sustainable success.

Innovation as an attitude

André Ginesta not only managed Ginesta, but actively shaped it. His work was characterized by the aspiration to continuously improve what already existed and to break new ground. This attitude carried the company through the 1980s and 1990s and contributed significantly to making Ginesta fit for the future and establishing it as a leading brokerage house.

His commitment was never just entrepreneurial, but always personal. Together with his wife Evelyne, he formed a strong team over the decades. Their support and great commitment created the reliability, closeness and corporate culture that still characterize Ginesta today.

With his entrepreneurial foresight and tireless commitment, André Ginesta has created the basis for Ginesta’s success today as a modern, broad-based real estate company.
