Hello

Too much structure kills voice.  

Too much freedom kills follow-through.

​

Most organisations don’t fail from lack of talent - they fail because people stop bringing their full intelligence into the room.

​

I work at the intersection of startups, corporates, and impact ecosystems.

 

I find the gap between what someone has built and what their customer actually needs - and I close it.

 

Whether that means rewriting a pitch, redesigning a partnership, or sitting with a founder carrying too much pressure silently.

Current Work

MassChallenge Switzerland: Vertical Lead, Sustainable Industry and Climate. I work with early-stage to scale-up startups across climate, water, sustainable materials, and circularity. I manage major corporate partnerships and run the LDC Climate Resilience Prize.
 

Squirrel Dreaming: Teaching entrepreneurship to children and coaching founders on narrative design.
 

BeVisioneers (Mercedes-Benz Foundation): Mentoring to impact founders building solutions at the intersection of climate and community.
 

The Real Ambassador: I run monthly walks in the Baden area focused on men's mental health. I do this because the human side of building something matters. Founders carry pressure silently, and that affects decisions, teams, and delivery. Paying attention to this layer is part of how I work - not a separate thing.

​

Workshops and Facilitation I design and run sessions that use tension, reflection, and structured play to unlock better thinking in teams. For leadership groups, innovation teams, and cross-boundary collaborations.

Not either/or.
Both.

Switzerland-based. Globally minded.
