I was born and raised in Basel as a Swiss-Luxembourg dual citizen. After my education, I started my working career in banking and finance before emigrating to Beijing for a six-year study abroad (Master of Science in International Business).

Back in Switzerland, I continued my professional career as a management consultant for a renowned Swiss entrepreneurial family, working mainly in Switzerland and Brazil.

Many exciting assignments and projects later, I decided to return to Switzerland, settle down and work for a family office. At FINAD, I am able to apply my experience in financial and wealth matters, in management and marketing as well as in dealing with people, in a comprehensive, needs-oriented and also interdisciplinary way. As a certified Financial Advisor, I advise wealthy families and entrepreneurs from Switzerland and all over the world, with a focus on sustainable financial- and wealth-planning.
