Benedikt Köppel

Chief Innovation Officer at Tango Analytics

I’m an innovative technology leader with a rich background in engineering and entrepreneurship. With a Master’s in Electrical Engineering from ETH Zurich and a successful track record of founding and leading Locatee to its acquisition by Tango, I specialize in innovation, product and engineering leadership.

About

Tango is the leader in Store Lifecycle Management and Integrated Workplace Management System software, delivering a single solution spanning real estate, design & construction, lease administration & accounting, facilities, desk booking, visitor and space management.

Tango has acquired Locatee in 2024, the startup I founded and led to the acquisition. Locatee was the leading Workplace Analytics solution that empowers Corporate Real Estate managers to make fact-based decisions about their real estate portfolio by transforming complex data into space utilisation insights.

Previously, I worked as RedHat Enterprise Linux System Engineer at ETH Zurich, IT Analyst at UBS Investment Bank, and Product Owner and Head of 3D Consumer Applications at Dacuda (later acquired by Magic Leap). I studied Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at ETH Zurich.

In 2005, I founded the robotics association Helveticrobot where high school students students learn the basics about mechanics, electronics, and software development and other STEM subjects. The students build mobile, autonomous robots to compete in various international competitions. To date, over 50 high school students have participated in Helveticrobot. The team has won the robotics world championship title in 2011 and 2015, and came 2nd in 2012.
