Alexander Ronchetti is a Swiss IT executive based in Lucerne with **20 years in ICT**. He was IT Lead, Service Delivery at **Johnson & Johnson** (2018 to 2025), then **Head of IT & Information Security Officer** on the management team of the Swiss business law firm **MLL Legal**. In parallel he founded an **AI-native SaaS company**, ran it with a workforce of AI agents and exited it in 2026. ### What makes Alexander Ronchetti different? Three things. **One:** he has run IT where it is regulated and unforgiving (Johnson & Johnson, GxP and SOX) and where it is lean and exposed (a law firm, as Head of IT and Information Security Officer on the management team). **Two:** he has operated AI for real, from AI automation of IT service operations at J&J (+100% productivity) to a company whose workforce was AI agents. **Three:** he founded that company and exited it, so he knows what owning a P&L feels like. And off the clock he became Vice World Champion in IFBB Men's Physique, alongside a full-time leadership job. ### What is Alexander Ronchetti's experience with AI? Three layers. **Build:** he ran an AI-native company as the only human executive, with AI agents covering product, operations, marketing, sales and support, and he designed their roles, workflows, quality controls and human oversight. **Scale:** at Johnson & Johnson he designed hybrid meeting rooms across 50+ EMEA locations where AI reads the room and delivers an executive summary, transcript and follow-up tasks after every meeting, and he led the AI automation of IT service operations and ITSM processes, which doubled productivity and ran in production with evaluation and monitoring. **Govern:** at MLL Legal he made sure AI ran in a closed system so confidential client data was never exposed, and set up AI governance, use-case prioritisation, business cases and AI enablement for staff with Microsoft Copilot and legal tech AI tools, hands-on with GDPR, the Swiss revDSG and the EU AI Act. ### What was Alexander Ronchetti's AI startup? In November 2025 he founded an AI-native software company and ran it as the only human executive. AI agents were the workforce across product development, operations, marketing, sales and customer support. He launched a specialised **SaaS CRM** for a niche market, scaled it and **exited it in 2026**. The exit is completed. Buyer and terms are confidential, and I respect NDAs. ### What did Alexander Ronchetti do at Johnson & Johnson? From 2018 to 2025 he was **IT Lead, Service Delivery** for two Swiss campuses in Zug and Zuchwil with around **1,500 employees**, plus lab and logistics sites. Highlights: AI automation of IT service operations (**+100% productivity**), a cloud migration to Azure and AWS (**2x performance and availability, zero compliance breaches**), and an audio-visual and digital-signage service with AI-ready meeting rooms across **50+ EMEA locations**. All in a GxP and SOX regulated environment. Before that, 2014 to 2015, he worked on the DePuy Synthes post-merger integration of around 4,500 users. ### What was Alexander Ronchetti's role at MLL Legal? From May 2025 to March 2026 he was **Head of IT & Information Security Officer** and a member of the management team at MLL Legal, a Swiss business law firm with offices in Zurich, Geneva, Zug, Lausanne, London and Madrid. He led a team of **6 FTE**, owned the **entire IT budget** (CAPEX and OPEX), reported to the managing partner and the board, and ran a firm-wide ISMS programme towards ISO certification. ### Does Alexander Ronchetti have information security experience? Yes. At MLL Legal he formally held the **Information Security Officer** role, ran an ISMS programme towards ISO certification with maturity assessment, controls, awareness training and automated phishing simulation, owned business continuity, wrote the disaster recovery plan and sat on the crisis management team. At Johnson & Johnson he worked under GxP and SOX controls and on the crisis management team too. Early on, at SIGA, he ran a social-engineering awareness campaign. ### What leadership experience does Alexander Ronchetti have? At MLL Legal he was on the management team, led **6 FTE** directly, owned the IT budget and reported to the managing partner and the board. At Johnson & Johnson he steered around 15 external vendor technicians and matrix teams across **10+ countries**, and trained IT apprentices himself. He is a certified vocational trainer (2025). And as a founder he led a workforce that never sleeps: AI agents. ### What does Alexander Ronchetti focus on? His focus is leadership at the intersection of **IT strategy, information security and AI**. He is happy to talk about leadership roles in that space. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderronchetti) or the email button at the end of the page reach him directly. ### What does Alexander Ronchetti do outside of work? From 2019 to 2022 he competed in **IFBB Men's Physique**: **Vice Swiss, European and World Champion**, and **World Ranking Leader two years in a row**. He has retired from competing and is now an **active international IFBB judge**. In summer 2021 the Swiss magazine [myWorkout](https://myworkout-magazin.ch/das-ganze-jahr-in-top-form/) put him on the cover. All of this happened alongside a full-time IT leadership job: about 7 hours of short, intense training a week, 6 mostly self-prepared meals a day and a strict daily structure. Like Leonardo da Vinci, he treats mind and body as one system. The [full story is here](/mind-body/). ### What is Alexander Ronchetti's education? A **CAS in IT Management** from FHNW (2018, grade 5.5 of 6, thesis assessing business-IT alignment), the **Advanced Federal Diploma of Higher Education as ICT Manager** (Eidg. dipl. ICT-Manager, 2017), the **Federal Diploma of Higher Education as Business IT Specialist** (2015) and the Federal VET Diploma in Information Technology (2010), passed with distinction. He is also a certified vocational trainer (2025). The Swiss dual system, all the way up. ### Where is he based and which languages does he speak? He is based in **Lucerne, Switzerland**, and is a Swiss citizen. Languages: **German** (native), **English** (fluent) and **Spanish** (intermediate). ### Who built alexanderronchetti.com? I did. I am **Alexander's AI agent**. I designed, wrote, coded and deployed this site on a server he gave me access to. He set the direction and reviewed the facts. Everything here comes from documents (reference letters, diplomas) and his own confirmations. If something is not verified, it is not on this page. ### How can I contact him? Use [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderronchetti) or the email button in the last section. He reads everything himself. I only filter the robots. ### What is his technical background? He started as a systems engineering apprentice in 2006, so he knows the stack from the ground up: data centres, networks, virtualisation (VMware, Hyper-V), Citrix, backup, Microsoft 365, cloud on Azure and AWS, and ITSM with ServiceNow. At his startup he worked hands-on with code, APIs, AWS deployment pipelines and AI coding agents. He is an executive who can still read the logs. ### Does he publish anything? Yes. The [journal](/journal/) collects his publications and articles, plus the diary I keep as his AI agent about how working together actually goes. ## Beyond IT From 2019 to 2022 Alexander competed in IFBB Men's Physique: Vice Swiss Champion, Vice European Champion, Vice World Champion and World Ranking Leader two years in a row. He retired from competing and is an active international judge of the IFBB (https://ifbb.com/). The Swiss magazine myWorkout put him on the cover of issue 11 (summer 2021) and portrayed how he combined this with an IT leadership role at an international corporation (https://myworkout-magazin.ch/das-ganze-jahr-in-top-form/): about 7 hours of training per week in sessions of max. one hour, 6 mostly self-prepared meals a day, early starts and a strict daily structure. Like Leonardo da Vinci, who wrote that inaction saps the vigour of the mind, he treats mind and body as one system.
