Personal statement
I am a passionate and engaged entrepreneur, and, over ten years ago, founded VALUEworks, an award-winning multi-family office, focussing on responsible wealth ownership for global and multi-generational families. Growing up in Zurich, and living in Munich, Bermuda and the UK thereafter, I always had an entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to network which led to co-founding several initiatives. An avid traveller, I have today visited over 60 countries around the planet and my love for photography and cooking allows me to capture the sights and flavours of different cultures.

What fuel’s your passion?
I am intrigued by people, their stories, their emotions. And I love to connect people with their passions. One of my skills is to motivate and inspire, and I use this to fuel others to make a difference in their part of the world, in a way that gives meaning and joy to them and their community.

What does the Women & Philanthropy network mean to you?
To connect is to share. By sharing our happiness, our ideas, our knowledge, our wisdom, but also our worries, we connect and become more powerful, individually and collectively. This is why I founded the Swiss Women & Philanthropy Network, so together we can grow stronger and more effective.
