About
MiM Candidate at IESE Business School | Strategy & Operations | Energy, Infrastructure & Sustainability
I'm a Swiss Master in Management student at IESE Business School (graduating June 2026) with a background in Communication Science from the University of Zurich. My focus is on strategy, operations, and business development, particularly in energy, infrastructure, mobility, and sustainability. I bring a mix of analytical skills and communication skills, backed by hands-on experience in enterprise workflow automation, battery energy storage consulting, and international innovation competitions (including a 2nd-place finish at the Chengdu80 Fintech Hackathon). I'm fluent in German, English, French, Spanish, and Italian, and thrive in high-trust, international environments. Currently exploring roles in strategy consulting and high-growth companies in the DACH region, with a long-term ambition to build or lead a business in the tech, energy and infrastructure space.
