About the Speaker

A multicultural entrepreneur educated in Switzerland and the United States, Cyrill Eltschinger has nearly a full decade of experience working in the China market. Prior to I.T. UNITED, he spent eight years with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) on various assignments in Europe, the United States, and Asia Pacific. He was eventually posted to China to establish and lead  the country-wide information and communications technical infrastructure of General Motors.

 

Anticipating the trend towards global I.T. outsourcing, he identified China as a major player in this fast-growing industry. In 1998, he and a group of former EDS colleagues started I.T. UNITED (www.ituc.com), a global enterprise with technology development centers in China. Since then, the company has built long-lasting partnerships with a wide range of organizations by delivering cost-effective I.T. solutions that make technology easier, smarter, and more productive.

 

Before joining the private sector, Cyrill served in the military for two years as a First Lieutenant in an elite unit of the Swiss Special Forces. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Finance from Texas A&M University and a certificate in Systems Engineering Development from EDS.

 

Away from the office, Cyrill serves as the President of the Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce Beijing (SwissCham) and as a Governor of the Board at the Capital Club, Beijing’s premier private business club. He also is an enthusiastic aviator and holds the first private pilot’s license issued to a foreigner in China since 1949.
