Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
I am an experienced professional in the field of major sport event communications, having worked for more than 16 years at the International Olympic Committee and more than 18 years in the wider sports movement. During that time, I have helped to deliver industry leading communications for some of the world's biggest sporting events like the UEFA Champions League and the Olympic Games. As part of the senior management at the IOC, and collaborating closely with the leadership at the Olympic Games Organising Committees, I have been involved in the planning and implementation of the communications' strategy and operations for numerous editions of the Olympics. Since 2018, I also oversee the communications around sustainability and legacy for the IOC, which looks at the IOC as an organisation, the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Movement. As of 2020, I also have responsibility for the Youth Olympic Games Communications. With expertise in the fields of communications strategy and planning, crisis communications, media relations, and sports politics, I am able to bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to any communications challenge.
