The founders

Dr. Fabian Kracht
Managing Partner & CEO
mesakumo GmbH
Before founding mesakumo, I successfully led the comprehensive digital transformation of the mid-sized family-owned company PERI (construction supplies, €1.7 billion revenue, 70 countries) as CEO and CFO (2014-2021).
With this experience, I now help our customers on their digital journey. It is important to me to focus on:
- digitisation not as an end in itself, but to create added value,
- Involve employees and customers early on and get them involved in digitalisation,
- Think cross-departmentally about processes and break down silos using technology,
- Make decisions based on data.

Richard Ritz
Managing Partner & COO
mesakumo GmbH
Prior to founding mesakumo, I successfully modernised the traditionally operationally driven IT of the family-owned company PERI as CIO (2015–2021) and transformed it into a business IT. This included the successful implementation of a cloud-only strategy as the foundation and driver of digitalisation.
Based on this experience, I am now helping our customers align their transformation around the following key points:
- Future-proof IT architecture,
- Continuous, rapid innovation through market-leading cloud solutions,
- Shift of the IT role from a bottleneck to an enabler,
- Unified data architecture as the basis for flexible business intelligence.
Renato Gubser
Managing Partner & CEO
mesakumo Switzerland AG
Before founding mesakumo Schweiz AG, I spent over 15 years working as a CIO in various Swiss companies. There, I developed IT departments into business enablers and successfully restructured international IT organisations – including complex projects relating to enterprise architecture, business applications and IT infrastructure.
Today, I support small and medium-sized enterprises in Switzerland in effectively implementing their digital transformation – with a focus on:
- IT strategy
- Business-IT Alignment
- Data Strategy & AI Introduction
- Enterprise Architecture
- IT Governance & Security for SMEs
- Change Management & digital culture

What does mesakumo stand for?
Linguistically, it is a Greek-Japanese coinage. In terms of content, the name reflects the conviction that the public cloud is the technological key to implementing our clients' digital strategies.
The goal of accompanying our customers on their journey to the cloud therefore provides the name: combining mesa (Greek for „into, inside“) and kumo (Japanese for „cloud“) creates mesakumo: „Into the cloud!“.
