Fashion career profile
Caspar Coppetti
Caspar Coppetti is a Swiss entrepreneur and co-founder of On, the performance-sportswear company launched in 2010 with David Allemann and former professional triathlete Olivier Bernhard. Before On, Coppetti held senior strategy and management roles at Young & Rubicam and worked as a management consultant at McKinsey. He holds a doctorate in economics from the University of St. Gallen. On’s March 2026 announcement named Coppetti and Allemann Co-CEOs effective May 1, 2026, while they continued as Executive Co-Chairmen of the board. The company said the structure was designed to bring founder-led strategy closer to execution as On scales internationally. Coppetti’s founder, executive-chair and co-CEO responsibilities are recorded as separate dated roles, rather than treating the new operational appointment as if it began when the company was founded.
