Chantal Witz
Branch Manager
After completing hotel management school and obtaining the federal certificate as a reception and administration manager, I have gained experience working in hotels for over 10 years. I have been able to use French, English, and Italian to excellent effect in serving an international clientèle. 14 years ago, I was entrusted with opening the Hotelis agency in Sion, which I then managed three years later as branch manager. Six years later, I returned to the Swiss capital to establish another agency as a leading personnel consultant for the hotel and restaurant industry in Bern. Through my work as an examination expert in the cantons of Valais and Bern, I have gained in-depth knowledge of the training standards and examination requirements, which I put to good use in developing and training aspiring professionals in the hospitality sector. My passion for my profession and my quest for excellence in recruitment motivate me on a daily basis to support our customers in finding the best talent.

Colin Queloz
Branch Manager
A chef by training, a graduate of the EHL Hospitality School in Lausanne and a holder of the federal HR certificate, for which I am also an examinations expert, I joined Hotelis as a consultant when it opened in 2008, and was later promoted to agency manager in 2010 (on-site agency at Palexpo). Since 2015, I have been head of the Lausanne agency and have also been in charge of the Hotelis Executive Department. As head of a team of seven people, I am responsible for the talent acquisition strategy: recruitment campaigns, active sourcing, structured assessments and career coaching. I ensure that HR administration is properly maintained and that legal requirements are complied with. I provide added value for customers in speaking their language, understanding their needs precisely and securing effective recruitment. I give candidates honest, humane and confidential advice in order to help them in their search, whether for permanent or temporary positions. An Epicurean with a human touch, I combine commitment, pragmatism and a focus on results to build lasting relationships rooted in trust.

Julie Landry
Head of Learning & Development
With a degree from the EHL Hospitality School in Lausanne, a federal certificate in adult education and certification as a quality manager in hospitals, I have been working in the field of continuing education for over 20 years. My expertise in hotel and hospital management has enabled me to develop an interdisciplinary approach to teaching, focused on solving practical problems and continuously improving quality. Since January 2025, I have had the privilege of running the Hotelis Academy training centre, which aims to develop skills in the hotel and catering industry, management and healthcare institutions. My goal is to enhance the impact of our training even further by placing constructive questioning and individual awareness at the heart of learning. I want every professional we support to be able to fulfil their potential, to develop their expertise and to give meaning to their role within their organisation.

Lionel Fontaine
Director
With many years of experience in the hotel and restaurant sector as well as human resources, I have always placed the development of talent at the heart of my career. As a specialist in recruitment, training and employee development, I am convinced that a company’s sustainable performance depends on its teams. Driven by a passion for my job, I have a modern and respectful vision of human resources, guided by respect, the ability to listen, commitment and innovation.

Lucie Marchal
Branch Manager
A graduate of the Vatel Hotel School, I started out on my career in the luxury hotel industry before moving into human resources, a field I have been passionate about for over 15 years.
Specialising in recruitment, I have developed comprehensive expertise covering both permanent and temporary appointments, with a strong focus on the hotel and catering sector. My background gives me a resolutely operational approach that is direct linked to the challenges faced by our customers and employees on the ground. I am responsive and committed and favour a human, proactive approach to recruitment, based on trust and proximity.

Martin Hueber
Director Germanspeaking Switzerland
Since June 2025, I have been managing the operations of Hotelis in German-speaking Switzerland as Director. My career began with an apprenticeship as a chef and studies at the Schweizerische Hotelfachschule in Lucerne, before going on to work in recruitment for many years. This dual experience in hotel/restaurants and HR enables me to understand and match the needs of companies and talent in equal measure. My focus is on expanding our market presence, the digitalisation of our processes, as well as development and continuing education through the Hotelis Academy. Our greatest strength is the people behind Hotelis – their expertise, their commitment, and their passion for the industry.

Stéphanie Collomb-Clerc
Branch Manager
With over 15 years’ experience in the hotel and catering industry as well as human resources, I have made supporting talent and companies my real vocation.
Having worked for more than ten years as Head of Human Resources at some of Geneva’s most prestigious establishments, I have had the opportunity to put in place structures, recruit and support entire teams, and also to advise demanding and passionate heads of department on a daily basis. This experience has enabled me to develop a vision of employee management that is both strategic and human, while remaining firmly rooted in operational realities on the ground.
Since 2022, I have been in charge of the Hotelis Geneva agency, where I use my expertise to meet the specific needs of hotel and catering establishments, but also to support candidates in their career paths. My role is to act as a genuine partner you can trust: to understand the expectations of each client, to enhance the skills of each candidate, and to create lasting professional engagements that add value.
Aside from my technical skills, this job is a genuine passion for me. I am passionate about the hotel business, about the job market, but above all about the core element that ties everything together: people. At Hotelis, we know that successful recruitment is not based solely on a CV, but also on a detailed understanding of the personalities, values and projects of each individual.

Virginie Vergères-Héritier
Branch Manager
I initially trained as an HGA Hotel Specialist, before graduating from the EHL Hospitality School in Lausanne in 2004. I worked in reception at a 4* hotel for one year in Geneva, followed by four years back in Lausanne working in various establishments as a F&B assistant. I then returned to Valais in 2011, where I joined the Accor Group as Human Resources Manager at a Mercure Hotel. In 2013, I joined the Hotelis agency in Sion as a consultant and was promoted to agency manager in 2020.
For me, recruitment is all about understanding the real needs of the company, identifying the right profiles beyond the CV, and creating a positive and transparent experience for the candidate. My aim is not simply to fill a position, but also to ensure a lasting, mutually beneficial partnership.
I offer added value in the form of my knowledge of the Valais market, including its advantages and disadvantages, as well as my network.
