Patrick Renaud is a Swiss Certified Tax Expert and Attorney-at-Law with more than 30 years of experience in advising Swiss and international families on tax optimization.

After obtaining his bar exam in Geneva, he joined KPMG’s legal and tax department where he learned taxation.

He continued his career at Pictet & Cie, a large private bank in Geneva, where he specialized in tax advice to high-net-worth individuals and families. He then joined Kendris, a Swiss consulting and fiduciary firm, participating in its management buy-out. After setting up and developing the legal and tax department for French-speaking Switzerland, he took over the management of the Geneva office in 2010, which he helped to develop and which employed up to 35 people.

With this experience, he founded Aptelis in January 2018 to get closer to his clients and focus on his core business, the Sweiss and International tax and legal consulting activity. This new stage in his career allowed him to put all his energy at the service of his Swiss and international clients and to develop new planning solutions.
