Logitech, the computer peripherals giant, will maintain its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, according to CEO Hanneke Faber. In a recent interview, Faber affirmed the company’s commitment to its Swiss roots, stating that the location will be further strengthened. While Faber initially relocated to Lausanne upon assuming her role, she has since moved to Silicon Valley. The company’s board believes her presence in the heart of the tech industry is crucial, given the influence of companies like Apple, Google, and Meta. Faber aims to transform Logitech into an iconic brand, akin to Apple, Starbucks, or Chanel, with gaming identified as a key area for growth. Notably, online gaming will be included in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, presenting a significant opportunity for Logitech. Faber also addressed the ongoing dispute between Logitech and its co-founder, Daniel Borel, who has been critical of the company’s leadership. While acknowledging Borel’s historical significance, Faber emphasized her focus on the present and future of the business, ultimately leaving the decision on Borel’s proposal to shareholders at the upcoming general meeting.
