After 7 impactful years as Fondation Botnar's CEO, I'm stepping down. I would like to thank the Board, partners, supporters, staff, and collaborators for all we've achieved through the years.

Excitingly, I'll be moving on as the first CEO at Ursimone Wietlisbach Foundation.

Congratulations to Marcel Tanner, our Fondation Botnar Board Member on receiving the prestigious Brandenberger Prize this year!

This recognition is a testament to his exceptional public health contributions and commitment to creating a positive impact. 👏
