Description

Felix Abt is a serial entrepreneur and, at times, a coach, trainer, and consultant. Over the course of his career, he has developed and managed a wide range of businesses across multiple countries and industries. He has served as a senior executive at multinational corporations including the Swiss-Swedish ABB Group (a global leader in automation and power technologies), F. Hoffmann-La Roche (a world leader in healthcare), and the Zuellig Group Inc. (a major Asian distribution and trading conglomerate). In addition, he has worked with small and medium-sized enterprises in both established and emerging markets.As an investor and company director, Felix has deepened his expertise across diverse sectors. His professional journey has taken him to nine countries on three continents—including Vietnam and North Korea. His guiding principle abroad has been to observe and learn rather than to judge, lecture, or impose personal views.He has also built significant experience in capacity building, organizing and conducting training programs from Spain to Egypt, Ivory Coast, Vietnam, and North Korea. A source of pride has been seeing many of his former employees in these countries go on to build successful businesses of their own.In North Korea, Felix made history as the founding president of the country’s first foreign chamber of commerce, where he advocated for reform, a level playing field, and against punitive foreign sanctions. His first book, A Capitalist in North Korea: My Seven Years in the Hermit Kingdom, recounts this period—arguably the most challenging yet rewarding of his career.During those seven years, he witnessed and sometimes contributed to countless “firsts” in the world’s most isolated and misrepresented country:-the first fast-food restaurant selling “happy meals”-the first Western-style café serving gourmet coffee-the first legal markets, advertising, debit card, and technocrats managing state enterprises-the introduction of miniskirts, high heels, and branded goods like Mickey Mouse and Hello Kitty bags-the emergence of small private businesses, private farming, and a growing middle class-the launch of the first business school (which he co-founded and led), the first e-commerce initiative (with North Korean painters), the first quality pharmacy chain, and the first software joint venture exporting award-winning medical software-modernization of local industry, including ABB robotics and mine-safety projects that saved livesYet, his greatest disappointment was the failure of his pet project—electrifying rural provinces to lift millions out of poverty—derailed by foreign intervention. His greatest satisfaction was helping prevent accidents in the mining sector and ensuring access to affordable, locally produced medicines before sanctions shut down these efforts.Felix was a shareholder in several legitimate joint ventures in North Korea—spanning pharmaceuticals, food, garments, and software—that were ultimately forced into bankruptcy by UN sanctions in the mid-2010s.Politically neutral by conviction, he does not espouse partisan views on North Korea. However, he is outspoken against the widespread bias and inaccuracies in international reporting on the country. Drawing on first-hand experience, he works to provide a more balanced perspective—through his books A Capitalist in North Korea and A Land of Prison Camps, Starving Slaves and Nuclear Bombs?
