About us

The Leadership Radar for a Complex World

Where traditional surveys stop, BrainE4 begins. Not retrospective, but forward-looking. BrainE4 is the leadership instrument for those who carry responsibility – in business and in public administration. It makes visible what many think but few dare to say – anonymous, structured, and in real time.

Our mission

Those who lead need clarity.
Those who think ahead need a Leadership Radar.

Traditional surveys and participation methods deliver snapshots. BrainE4 delivers early signals – by truly listening. Because good decisions don’t come from assumptions – they come from relevant insights.

The smartest minds are already there

We unlock the knowledge of your employees, customers, and citizens – with real-time data instead of rearview mirrors.

Clarity over noise

You see what really matters – and where to act first.

Psychological safety

People speak openly – without fear, without bias. Because trust is the foundation of honest feedback.

Powerful insights. No effort.

No survey fatigue. No guesswork. Just clear signals – from your organization, your market, or society.

Board of Directors

Leadership that understands how decision-makers think

Andreas Seonbuchner

Andreas Seonbuchner

The visionary & founding partner
Former Executive Board Member, now CEO of BrainE4

“I had numbers – but no truth.”

As an executive, Andreas received regular employee survey reports – filled with scores, charts, and averages. What he didn’t get: a real sense of what people truly thought. No signal of what was brewing beneath the surface.

Aha Moment
“Leadership doesn't need more reporting – it needs relevance.”

Libor Voncina

Libor Voncina

The former CEO & partner
at Sunrise, among other companies

"I had reports. But no overview of the situation."

Libor had to make fast, high-stakes decisions. But the data he received was sanitized, late, or too abstract – disconnected from what was really happening in the organization.

Aha Moment
“Leadership doesn’t start with reaction – it starts with recognition.”

Thomas Küng

Thomas Küng

The Media entrepreneur & partner
Over 20 years in publishing leadership

“I knew what my readers consumed – but not what they cared about.”

Thomas launched new formats, optimized content, tracked clicks. But the critical strategic questions – Why do readers disengage? What’s missing? – remained unanswered.

Aha Moment
“Relevance isn’t created by algorithms – it starts with real listening.”
