The People Behind SHAIVE

Technological precision is created by people who take ownership, push boundaries, and work together toward a clear vision.

Patrick & Lou · Founders from day one

Founders

From an idea in the mirror to an engineering team.

SHAIVE brings together computer science, mechanical engineering, and entrepreneurial leadership. What began as a personal problem is now being developed into professional technology by three founders and a young team of specialists.

PatrickCo-Founder & CTO

It all began seven years ago in front of the bathroom mirror, when Patrick started cutting his own hair. He knew exactly which hairstyle he wanted, yet rarely received the result he had imagined. So he decided to solve the problem himself. While studying Computer Science, he developed “Trim 3D”, the predecessor technology to SHAIVE. Today, Patrick leads the technical development to turn the vision of tomorrow's haircut into reality.

LouCo-Founder & CEO

As Patrick's long-time friend, Lou followed the early stage development with enthusiasm since the very beginning - and soon became invested in the vision himself. As co-founder and managing director, he combines technical innovation with people-centred leadership. Lou is the driving force turning an idea into a successful company with an international reach.

GianlucaLate Co-Founder & Mechanical Lead

Gianluca joined the founding duo as SHAIVE's first key hire. He combines his early training as a polymechanic with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zurich. This gives him exactly the expertise SHAIVE needs for its mechanical development and the precision it aims to deliver. Today, Gianluca leads this field as a late co-founder of SHAIVE.

Team
