Fragomen Appoints Timo Heck as Managing Partner of DACH Region

ZURICH, November 12, 2026 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, has appointed Timo Heck as Managing Partner of the DACH region, encompassing Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Heck has managed the firm’s Swiss practice for the past five years, using his deep understanding of the region and clients’ evolving workforce needs to drive growth and strengthen the firm’s offering.  

“The DACH region is strategically important to Fragomen and our clients, and we see significant opportunity to continue to consolidate and refine our capabilities across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Bringing our practices across these markets together under Timo’s leadership will allow us to build on our strengths and deliver an even more connected offering for clients,” said George Koureas, Fragomen’s European Managing Partner.  

“Timo is a highly respected leader with deep experience supporting clients across Europe. His understanding of the market, our clients and our people makes him exceptionally well placed to lead our DACH practice through its next phase of growth,” added Koureas. 

Heck brings more than 15 years of experience advising organizations on immigration and global mobility matters, including clients across the technology, pharmaceutical, financial services and manufacturing sectors. He has a particular focus on the intersection of technology, data and global mobility, including the development of technology-enabled solutions that support workforce planning, compliance and risk management. 

In this role, Heck will lead Fragomen’s DACH practice, with responsibility for setting its strategic direction, developing its capabilities and strengthening collaboration across the region and the wider firm to support clients’ evolving immigration and global mobility needs.  

“Businesses across the DACH region are thinking differently about their workforces amid regulatory change and geopolitical pressures. Access to skills, where talent is located and deployed, and how organizations navigate changing requirements are increasingly interconnected business issues,” added Heck. “Connecting our deep expertise even more closely across the region will strengthen our ability to help clients anticipate what is ahead and respond as their business and workforce needs evolve.”
