Development – Realisation – Participation - Turning potential into lighthouse projects

I studied business administration in Lucerne, specialising in public and non-profit management. I worked for five years as a manager and project manager for an international aid organisation and was responsible for projects in Latin America, establishing the Asian funding focus and initial funding relationships in South Africa. I also advised, trained and coached leaders and teams in established NGOs in Colombia, Ghana, India, Brasil and Switzerland on leadership, fundraising and impact measurement to increase their sustainability and positive impact. Since 2018, I have been working as a coach, trainer and consultant with certified coaching training in organisational and human resource development. I advise, train and coach on business topics as well as leadership issues. I am also co-author of a article in the Caritas Switzerland Almanach Development Policy 2016 on the topic of "Vocational training against poverty".
