Detail

Having lived in Switzerland for over 25 years, I am proud of my Swiss citizenship and excited to represent our interests in New York. After earning my Bachelor’s degree at HEC Lausanne, I worked for a Swiss startup in Zurich before joining IBM, where I developed AI solutions for Fortune 500 companies. After moving to the US in 2018 to complete my MBA at the University of Chicago Booth, I joined Morgan Stanley as part of their Tech Investment Banking team. I have since become the Founder & CEO of Memoria, a venture-backed health-tech startup. 

Living in New York, I am actively engaged with the Swiss community through Swissnex, the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce, and the Swiss Society of New York, as well as the Swiss Collective – a community I recently launched to foster meaningful connections among young Swiss professionals. Maintaining strong ties to Switzerland, I visit quarterly and remain committed to strengthening the bond between those abroad and our homeland, contributing to a vibrant, connected global Swiss community.
