My career at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants

It wasn't until after I graduated from St. Gallen University that I decided to go into the banking industry. I first worked as an internal consultant at Credit Suisse and in asset management & research at Bank Sarasin. I then started to look for a challenge that would make it possible for me to gain some international experience and to continue to build on what I had learned up to that point. I found an entrepreneurial and dynamic environment at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants in Zürich.

On my second project I was already off to Cyprus, where I worked with colleagues from our Moscow office on developing a new concept for a bank. After "tours of duty" in Zürich, Moscow and Germany, I headed to China last year to support colleagues there in asset management. I've also been able to experience a couple of excursions into other industries such as media and chemicals. This variety of topics, countries and issues constantly challenges me and makes life as a consultant interesting and entertaining.

My other interests

After a hard week at work, I like to relax with horseback riding or spending a cozy evening with friends. My other hobbies are sailing and skiing. I also like to relax with a good book and some classical music.
