Personal Bio

As the Policy Director, I lead International Rivers’ efforts to strengthen the social and environmental standards of governments, financial institutions, and the dam industry. I also supervise some of our regional programs. I’m originally from Switzerland, and have studied at the universities of Zurich, Minnesota, and the West Indies. Before joining International Rivers in 2002, I was the coordinator of the Berne Declaration, a Swiss advocacy group. When I don’t study policies and write reports, I spend time with my family, run, play tennis, and visit the opera. My favorite river is the Albula in the Swiss Alps.
