As Head of WSL's Communication Unit, the dialogue between WSL and the public, politicians, authorities, practitioners and the scientific community is particularly important to me. The exchange between WSL staff, WSL management and employees and across sites is also close to my heart.
The fields of activity of our support unit include internal communication, PR, science in dialogue, knowledge transfer/marketing, knowledge dissemination, technical-methodological support, communication consulting and multimedia production (e.g. web videos).
In 2020/21 I was also interim head of WSL's Planning and Logistics Division, i.e. the non-research departments Human Resources, Finance and Support, IT, Communication, Operations Birmensdorf and Operations Davos. Research is the core mission of WSL - but without the work of these support units, the researchers would not be able to fulfil their task. That is why I consider our highly qualified and motivated employees in the support units to be central to WSL's success.

...I still have enough to do:
My place of residence, Filisur, is in Parc Ela. It is very important to me that this regional nature park of national importance is a success.
