Our Chairman

Boris Pavlovic

Head of Global Executive Customer Programs, Verkada

The United States and Switzerland are often called “Sister Republics” because of our shared values and strong partnership. Our two countries have similar constitutions, democratic values, and free-market ideas, and have worked together on important issues.  Today the US is one of Switzerland’s most important trading partners and its top export destination.

As the San Francisco chapter of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce, we actively promote professional and social connections throughout Northern California to enhance ties between Switzerland and the United States.

We look forward to welcoming you at one of our upcoming events and would be delighted to have you join our rapidly growing organization as a new member.
