As an analytical and tech-savvy manager, I have a broad range of experience in management and communication in the fields of consumer goods, media, politics and business, as well as many years of experience managing complex projects. With my master’s degree in Finance and Business Administration from the University of St.Gallen HSG, I have been able to build a highly varied and exciting career. Previously, I was a member of senior management at Rufener Events Ltd. BSW (currently MCH global) and a communications consultant at Jäggi Communications (currently Burson Marsteller).

 

From 2017 to 2021, as CEO of the BERNEXPO GROUPE, I was significantly involved in moving the traditional trade fair company in a more future-oriented and innovative direction. Together with around 140 employees, I transformed the live marketing company, which is primarily focussed on trade fairs, congresses and events, into Switzerland’s second-largest trade fair organiser. Under my leadership, established and new trade fair formats were successfully acquired, further developed and launched. Furthermore, our team was able to greatly advance the development of hybrid and digital platforms as a supplement to live offers and to position new services and products on the market.

​

As Managing Director of the Spoundation Motion Picture (SMP), I was responsible since mid 2022 for the strategic further development of SMP and the Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) in a changed market environment to continue the successful growth course of SMP and ZFF in the future and to set new accents with the team.
