Souad Dous

Souad Dous is Co-Founder and Partner at SPHERE The Swiss Financial Arena, a Swiss media and events platform focused on wealth management and professional investors. She co-founded SPHERE in 2016 and has since overseen its development into a platform serving the Swiss financial community through a weekly newsletter, a website, a magazine, and events held in Zurich, Geneva and Lugano, covering topics in both French and German. Her role sits within general management.

Under her leadership, SPHERE has extended its activity beyond media into professional development. In partnership with the ISFB, she initiated a continuing education programme designed specifically for independent asset managers, combining SPHERE's community and media platform with ISFB's academic expertise. She has described the programme's objective as establishing a structured, high-level training curriculum that serves as a sector reference for external asset managers. In May 2026, Dous announced a strategic partnership between SPHERE and finews, combining SPHERE's event formats and positioning in wealth management with finews's editorial reach and multilingual offering. The stated aim is to develop new event formats for the Swiss wealth and asset management industry and to build a B2C media and event platform alongside the existing B2B offering. In public statements relating to the finews partnership, she holds the title of Director of SPHERE. SPHERE connects independent wealth managers, private banks, family offices and institutional players through its magazine, digital publications and curated event formats. Dous is based in Geneva.
