What I'm looking for

I am seeking long-term leadership in agribusiness or export-focused organizations where I can drive commercial growth, build high-performing multicultural teams, and implement sustainable, KPI-driven operations.

I am a results-oriented commercial and operations leader with over 20 years of experience across consulting, finance, HR leadership, and international trade, combining an entrepreneurial mindset with Swiss precision and strong intercultural fluency.

I have led high-performing multicultural teams, launched new products and markets, optimized organizational structures, and implemented KPI-driven reporting and cost-control systems to improve profitability and operational efficiency.

I am committed to long-term leadership in agribusiness and export sectors, focusing on sustainable development, talent development, and scalable commercial strategies that build lasting partnerships.
