About

I am a Swiss-based, native English-speaking podcast host, interviewer, moderator and public communicator with nearly 30 years of international experience across business, hospitality, leadership, education and media.

I create and host thoughtful, engaging conversations with senior executives, entrepreneurs, academics, public figures and subject-matter experts. I am the creator and host of The HoCoSo Conversation and co-creator of The Hospitality Resilience Series, both of which explore leadership, culture, wellbeing, resilience, business transformation and the human side of organisations.

My strength is helping guests feel comfortable while guiding conversations with clarity, warmth, structure and purpose. I prepare deeply, listen carefully and know how to translate complex topics into accessible, human and compelling dialogue.

Alongside my media work, I bring senior international business experience, including former Vice President-level leadership at Marriott International and advisory work with CEOs, founders and investors. This gives me a mature, credible presence and the ability to engage confidently with high-level guests.

I am especially suited to podcasts, interviews, panel discussions and thought-leadership formats where clients want intelligent, polished and meaningful conversations rather than scripted or superficial content.
