«The least movement is of importance to all nature; the entire ocean is affected by a pebble.»

(Blaise Pascal, French philosopher and scientist, 1623–1662)

My professional career began after graduating from the Basel Business School. However, before entering the working world, I explored the world. As a child, I traveled a lot and far with my family. In the process, I also got to know a wide variety of lifestyles and wisdoms. The most exciting part was the people with their very own personalities. One of my trips, combined with an English language stay, took me to New Zealand. Another major milestone was my first diving certificate. Since then, this beautiful hobby has accompanied me. Every dive is a new challenge. You never know what awaits you in the depths of the sea. I am particularly impressed by the countless, wonderful, and sometimes bizarre forms that nature produces. Even underwater, only the most adaptable survive.

After several intermediate stops, where I got to know various companies, philosophies, and people, I found my way into a large, internationally active company in 1994. I was also able to gain experience in a subsidiary in Munich. After management training at the Institute for Management Training IFKS Basel and 18 years of professional experience in the field of advertising/ad sales print & online, the last few years of which were in a leading position with budget responsibility, it was time for a new, challenging task: a “little pebble” saw the light of day in 2011. Of course, this little stone has drawn wide circles on my ocean and brought some changes. In any case, I wanted to spend more time with my daughter, but without losing contact with the professional world. And that’s when the opportunity arose to introduce myself to Grass & Partner in Basel.

I am pleased to support our clients and candidates as an office employee with great commitment together with the Basel team.
