Every finance organisation I lead faces the same challenge: multiple urgent paths demanding attention at once — refinancing, integration, transformation — and a team that needs to navigate all of them together. My job is to read the terrain, choose the line, and guide the team to the summit.
My career spans from the hospitality floors of Mövenpick and the Swissair Group, through the IPO of Canada Goose on the NYSE and TSX, to building finance functions from zero in venture-backed startups and leading CHF 300M debt refinancings in PE-backed infrastructure groups.
Before any of that, I was a professional ski athlete on the US and Japan Pro Tours. That chapter taught me something I carry into every boardroom: the discipline to prepare meticulously, the composure to perform under pressure, and the judgment to choose the right line when conditions change.
Today, alongside my executive career, I serve on the boards of a FINMA-regulated bank and two PE-backed ski brands — combining financial governance with the outdoor world that has shaped my identity since childhood.
