Answer:

Ulrich Zwingli

While there were several key figures in the Swiss Reformation, Ulrich Zwingli (1484–1531) is widely regarded as its founder and father.
He began preaching Reformation ideas in Zurich around the same time Martin Luther started the movement in Germany.
He was a pastor in Zurich who attacked the custom of fasting during Lent and the corruption in the church hierarchy. His movement was more radical than Luther's in some aspects, particularly regarding the nature of the Eucharist (Holy Communion).
