about me
getting there
ANGLO-SWISS
I was born with English, but I grew up in french Switzerland with a few stops in the US, Brazil or France.
HITTING THE SCHOOLBANK
I sat out the obligatory education in Neuchâtel and then I started having fun modelling my brain with mathematics and computer science in the University.
APPLYING IT
I always loved helping people, be it on the building site in summer or giving lessons to younger students. It is only logical that I started my professional career in a consulting firm as a developer.
CUSTOMER EMPATHY
I have realised through the jobs I’ve had, that the flip-side to my scientific skills is the empathy for business processes and business needs.
