I am a global thinker and humanist. I studied and lived in London for 25 years before moving to Zurich. In the past, I worked at SOAS (University of London) as a teaching fellow of Chinese art history and archaeology and at the Asia Department at the British Museum. I currently sit on the Board of Directors of an Industrial Holding company. I am interested in philanthropic work around the globe and am strongly involved with several organisations that focus on the environment and several social projects to make the world a better place.

Encouraging creative thinking and guiding the next generation to take responsibility to look after the earth and society. Our past reveals our future.

Be compassionate, be active, speak out

People don't know I'm extremely good at understanding and reading people and different situations, business or social, by thinking outside the box.
