I am insanely curious contextualist. I love to understand not just the what, but the why, how, when and who of just about anything and everything around us today. This makes building the bridges to tomorrow by understanding the current and emerging drivers of change a real joy. The future scenarios we see are not always those we want. Recognizing this discrepancy and their implications is hard work. The world is in a time of profound change. I joined ETH Zurich in 2020 to work with the President, the Executive Board, and the ETH community to help it understand this change and to help chart a path within it so that it remains both relevant to Switzerland and the highest ranked technical University in Europe. I wanted to give back to the amazing institution which changed my life after spending 20 years travelling the corporate world. It is exciting to be able to continue to learn every day from brilliant and passionate people.
