Zollikon, Zurich, Switzerland
I am a cross-industry executive with decades of international leadership, known for transforming vision into strategy, and strategy into sustainable growth.

My leadership journey has taken me from luxury resorts in the Maldives to digital marketplaces in Zurich, from negotiating private debt deals to pioneering expansion in untapped European markets. I work best where complexity meets ambition—guiding companies through growth phases, digital transformation, or market entry. Fluent in five languages and backed by an Executive MBA, I bridge cultures, markets, and mindsets. What drives me? Building exceptional teams, navigating uncertainty with clarity, and leading with both heart and strategic precision.
