About me
Born and raised in Switzerland, I rowed for our national team for twelve years, through two Olympic Games and a World Championship silver, before moving abroad to study an MBA at the University of Oxford, where I also won the 2022 Boat Race. I swapped my oars for sails, joining Alinghi Red Bull Racing in the America's Cup in Barcelona.
Today I'm Head of Growth at Bewe, where I apply my experience in the business world.
