Key Dates
1994
I became a scout and would spend pretty much every weekend in nature, learning to appreciate our planet, as much as learning from very early on how to lead diverse teams
2012
Finished my business studies, moved from Switzerland to London (via 8 months in Tokyo) and decided to become a designer instead of a banker or bog 4 consultant :)
2016
Joined Zendesk and entered the tech world, helping build a design team between London and San Francisco, where I eventually met Rachel and Yannick as Zendesk acquired their first company Bime Analytics. Love at first sight.
2020
Sweep starts. In great company (yes, with you!!!)
