In this episode, Yannick talks with Jens Vollmar, CEO of Implenia, the leading Swiss construction and real estate service provider with over 8,000 employees and a turnover of 3.5 billion francs.

Jens has been with the company for over a decade and in overall responsibility since April 2025. When we met for the conversation, Jens had been CEO for almost exactly one year.

For us, the perfect moment to ask how Jens has settled into the new role, what is non-negotiable for him in collaboration, and what he wants to achieve with Implenia in the near future.

Let me tell you this: He has quite a few plans.

What impressed us the most was the phrase 'I am still Jens'. And you can believe him.


We also clarify the following questions:

  • Why is performance a value at Implenia?

  • What role does the physical work environment play in the corporate culture?

  • And how do you manage to inspire young talents for careers in construction?

It's worth listening 🎧
