Industry Background
Starting my professional carrier as a nurse working in several Hospitals of the Kanton Zürich, I was  exposed to  international business relations in the Trade of Pharmaceutical Chemicals and Intermediates at Fischer Chemicals AG in Zürich. Looking for new challenges  and fascinated by the agricultural sector, I decided  to live in a foreign country and moved to Spain. As a habitant of Spain, I first worked for two years in the International Real Estate and Construction Business as Director of Finance and Human Resources.  In 2005 I started working as a Marketing consultant to Spanish Wineries until I was hired for the largest winery in Europe, Virgen de las Viña. As Marketing Director, which is my current position, I specialize in business negotiations and sales for Eastern European, Russian and Far Eastern markets.

Personal Vision
Coming from a Swiss Family with a very old tradition in international trade and politics, my desire is to follow the path of my grandfathers. According to their philosophy,  bringing prosperity to their own people and to the world through a patient, persevering and peaceful mind and manner.

Interests
My greatest passion is my family, my dear husband and my three boys. We love to play music (piano and guitar) at home. I love to cook and eat, to go out for dancing and  for walks in the mountains or at the beach. When time allows, I go horse-back riding or play chess with my oldest son.
