I am the Director of SWI swissinfo.ch and a member of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's Executive Board.
Born in Graubünden in 1978, I studied German, economics and politics. I started my journalistic career as a freelance journalist for local and regional media. This was followed by a decade as editor-in-chief, first at the Bündner Tagblatt newspaper and later at SWI swissinfo.ch. Since 2019, I have been Director of the international platform SWI swissinfo.ch and a member of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's Executive Board.
Since 2022, I have been responsible for all journalistic content published by SWI swissinfo.ch, with a special focus on democracy and culture.
Previously, I held senior roles in digital news and was head of a primetime current affairs program on Swiss radio and television. I also developed broad expertise as a journalist on politics, science and culture. I hold a master's degree in environmental sciences from ETH Zurich.
I have been part of SWI swissinfo.ch's editorial board since 2015 and lead the English-language team and offering. I am also product owner for our news and our Swiss Film Selection.
Before joining SWI swissinfo.ch, I worked as a business journalist for various Swiss media outlets. I graduated in New Media Journalism (Master of Arts, 2014, University of Leipzig) and economics (licentiate degree, 1999, University of Bern).
I lead efforts to understand our audience's needs and habits through data and engagement. I also oversee science coverage at SWI swissinfo.ch and serve on the management board.
A dual citizen of Switzerland and the United States, I worked for trade publications and public media outlets in the US before joining SWI swissinfo.ch as a journalist and editor.
Train vs plane: would you take a direct train between London and Geneva?
Eurostar is planning to run direct trains from Britain to Germany and Switzerland from the early 2030s. Would you favour the train over the plane? If not, why not?
