Hiring for
Pick your field and the page puts what matters to you first.
I like working through a problem with a team, talking to the people it affects, and turning what we find into a clear recommendation. For the NSA, 60+ interviews became a 60-page proposal. For MOXY, 500+ customer interviews shaped the positioning and pricing behind a first-place $100K seed pitch.
I don't have a banking background yet. My strength is connecting with people, and I have built the numbers behind real pitches, from the Excel model behind MOXY's first-place $100K seed pitch to CULPER's market sizing and three-year funding plan. I also managed an auction for 200+ guests at a fundraising event.
My master's at HSG is in marketing management, and customer research is where I'm strongest. 500+ interviews shaped MOXY's positioning, price and customer segments, and a focus group of 120 captured customer feedback for a large conference hotel.

How I work
"Good enough and done, or perfect and pending." An art teacher told me this years ago. It is how I work. I put ideas in front of people early, take the criticism, and make them better.

Beyond the Classroom
What I do when I am not working.
Hiking & mountaineering
Swiss Alpine Club member for twelve years. I have trekked to Everest Base Camp, completed the Tour des Muverans and climbed Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks. I've recently started mountaineering too, and climbed the Arête des Cosmiques above Chamonix. Next up are the Tour du Mont Blanc and the Via Alpina to Montreux.
Ski racing
On skis since I was 18 months old. I raced from age 8 to 18, including regionally with Ski Club Verbier, where a whole season can come down to one run.
Travel
I have visited 37 countries and all seven continents. The trips that stayed with me most were to remote mountain communities in Nepal, Bhutan and India.
Space & astronomy
Five years in my school's astronomy club, operating telescopes and showing local children our photos of the Andromeda galaxy. I went on to complete a Minor in Space at CU Boulder.
