With more than 25 years’s experience at the intersection of international sport, governance, and events, I bring a proven record of leadership on the global stage. My career includes management roles across 9 Olympic Games and numerous World & European Championships, alongside a decade of governance, management, and development responsibilities within national and international federations. As the founder of a successful consultancy in sports and event management, I combine entrepreneurial agility with board-level governance expertise. I currently serve on the Board of Rugby Europe and the Swiss Rugby Union, and as a Council member of World Rugby, proudly representing Rugby Europe’s 47 member unions at the world stage. These experiences have deepened my ability to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, shape strategic direction, and strengthen organizational impact. Multilingual and culturally fluent, I thrive in international environments and am driven by a clear belief the sport is not just an industry, but a powerful vehicle for unity, growth, and transformation. I constantly aim to channel this vision into leading organizations, inspiring teams, and building strategies that leave a lasting legacy.
