SWI Group: A New Era in Sports and Investment
The SWI Group, a cutting-edge alternative investment platform formed by the collaboration between Stoneweg Group and Icona Capital, has recently made headlines with its formation of a Strategic Advisory Board and a specialized Sports Entertainment Committee. This groundbreaking initiative aims to expand the organization's focus and to leverage the expertise of its illustrious members for innovative commercial endeavors. Notably, the board features iconic figures such as Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, former FC Barcelona soccer legend Andres Iniesta, and industry leader Arnaud de Puyfontaine as the strategic chairman.
A Talented Leadership Team
The announcement, made on May 21, 2025, in London and Geneva, highlights the SWI Group's rapid advancement in the investment sector. Max-Hervé George, the Chairman and Co-CEO, alongside Jaume Sabater, Co-CEO, have assembled a stellar team to provide strategic direction and support for the group's business initiatives. With members such as Olivier Jollin and Simon Benhamou focusing on strategy and business development, the board is ready to tackle a broad agenda aimed at forging strategic partnerships.
At the helm of the Sports Entertainment Committee are Frédéric Vasseur, Charles Leclerc, and Andres Iniesta. This dedicated team is poised to seek global opportunities in sports and entertainment, cultivating initiatives that combine passion with business acumen.
Fostering Innovative Collaborations
The convergence of these talented individuals, brought together by an alternative investment philosophy, is expected to unlock new avenues for exciting partnerships and pioneering business strategies. As George noted, the board has already embarked on discussions regarding various projects, including the possibility of hosting their first global investors conference early next year, likely following the conclusion of the Formula 1 season.
Furthermore, Sabater added, "Collaboration with a vibrant Strategic Advisory Board opens the door to fresh prospects and innovative approaches to modern business strategies. Marrying corporate initiatives with sports icons generates a synergy of talent, discipline, and efficiency that fuels our pursuit of goals and shared success."
Charles Leclerc's Exciting New Role
Leclerc expressed enthusiasm about his new commitment to the SWI Group, stating, "I look forward to aiding SWI in advancing its rapidly growing business. It is a new challenge for me, and I have several ideas for how we can harness the passion and expertise behind each sport to drive genuine business growth. Working alongside Max, who has a reputation for quick results, aligns well with my approach. I am confident we will make some exciting announcements soon."
The Board's Broader Role
The Strategic Advisory Board will function as both an exclusive and cooperative council, engaging with potential investors and institutions across various sectors, including sports, finance, education, healthcare, and the arts.
