Thomas Süssli
Thomas Süssli served as the Chief of the Swiss Armed Forces since January 1, 2020, following Philippe Rebord's resignation due to health issues. Known for his unconventional path, Süssli was a militia officer before becoming a professional officer in 2015 and has experience in cyber-defense. At the relatively young age of 52, he was seen as a potential reformer within the military, bringing modern management practices to the armed forces. His tenure has been marked by efforts to modernize military operations, but he recently announced his resignation amidst a significant corruption scandal within the defense sector.
