Driving Change from City Council to the Streets: Activist Politician Leading the Charge for Environmental Justice

As an elected member of the City Council in Lausanne for six years with the Green Party, I've been at the forefront of advocating for environmental sustainability, social justice, and political accountability. My activism extends beyond the council chambers; I've worked with Extinction Rebellion on numerous actions, and my commitment has led to arrests and an ongoing trial, underscoring the urgency of our cause.

With over a decade of experience as a financial auditor at KPMG and PwC, I bring a unique blend of corporate insight and activist zeal to my work. I founded The Positive Project, a proud B Corp, where I help companies develop sustainability strategies, achieve B Corp certification, and provide training on sustainable practices. As a board member of the Fédération Suisse des Entreprises, I amplify the voices of progressive businesses committed to a sustainable future.

Having lived in Switzerland, Spain, Guatemala, Singapore, and the US, and fluent in five languages, I bring a global perspective to my work. My passion for environmental justice and social equity drives me to challenge the status quo and push for transformative change. As a mother of three (plus two stepchildren), I am deeply committed to creating a livable and desirable future for the next generation.

    Des mots mêmes de l’ONU, le dérèglement climatique représente un risque existentiel pour l’humanité.
