Bridging purpose and passion – championing arts & culture to inspire, connect and transform.

I offer services that amplify your philanthropic and social change journeys, ensuring that they have a lasting and meaningful impact. I bring a wealth of experience as a foundation executive director, a former Swiss Foreign Ministry official, a peacebuilder, and an active member of the global venture philanthropy community.

Céline

Céline is for sure one of a kind: passionate about social change with a witty intellect, I enjoy her strategic thinking, energetic drive and leadership qualities. We worked several years together at the HD Centre, transitioning from a founder’s organisation specialised in confidential, conflict diplomacy – to a USD 40 M peace-making organisation with global footprint. Years after Céline has left us, she is still part of my close network of women leaders I can rely upon.

Celine’s people and goal oriented approach turns every minute of interaction and work with her into pure pleasure and enriches you on personal and professional levels.

Strongly committed to upholding best practices in philanthropy, Céline is a highly effective and diplomatic advocate for transparency, good governance, respectfulness, openness - and, an essential element in my eyes in our particular world : generosity.

J’ai apprécié son énergie, son expérience en matière de consultation, son réalisme, son sens du travail bien fait et de la communication, même en terrain difficile...
