Përparim Avdili – From immigrant child to mayoral candidate

Growing up as the son of a seasonal worker in Switzerland, Përparim Avdili knows the challenges of social advancement from his own experience—and has turned them into opportunities. With impressive consistency, he developed from an immigrant child into a financial expert, political leader, and bridge builder between business, society, and politics.

Today, as CFO of LIBS, the talent factory of the high-tech industry, he is shaping the skilled workers of tomorrow. At the same time, as president of the FDP City of Zurich, he is shaping the political future of his city—with a clear liberal stance, visionary thinking, and a genuine can-do attitude.

On March 8, 2026, Përparim Avdili will run for mayor of Zurich. In both roles—as an economic expert and political leader—he is driving forward key issues for the future, whether in industry, education, or democracy.

What sets him apart is not only his professional acumen, but also his humanity, his down-to-earth attitude, and his unwavering optimism. He stands for an open, performance-oriented society in which background is not a barrier, but diversity is an asset.

When he's not rocking the financial world or giving political speeches, he enjoys life to the fullest —and ensures that Zurich continues to shine with his energy, joy, and sense of responsibility.
