Leader Digital Assurance & Trust Switzerland • PwC Switzerland

As the National Leader of Digital Assurance & Trust in Switzerland and Regional Leader of Cybersecurity Services in Western Switzerland (Romandie) at PwC, I manage a team of over 150 experts focused on helping organizations handle digital risks effectively to leverage the opportunities technology offers. With over 20 years of experience, I provide advice to banks and international companies on Digital Trust and Cybersecurity, assisting them in areas such as Responsible AI, Finance Transformation, outsourcing, and regulatory compliance. Since joining PwC Switzerland in 2011 and becoming a partner in 2015, I have been actively involved in helping organizations managing inherent risks while unlocking the potential of new technologies. I help them creating a "safety net" with processes, governance, and controls that mitigate risk and allow opportunities to emerge. In addition to client engagements, I represent PwC as a speaker at industry events and serve as a part-time lecturer at the University of Lausanne on Digital Trust, contributing to discussions on cybersecurity and digital assurance.

Chief of Strategy • Cyber Peace Institute

Cyber is about people and a peaceful cyberspace is one that improves lives. With an International Law and Human Rights background, I have 15+ years’ experience in working for international organizations(United Nations, World Economic Forum, CyberPeace Institute) on strategy and partnerships development, action-oriented research, technical assistance and capacity building in international justice, human rights and security. I have developed my expertise on countering and preventing cybercrime and misuse of technology, focusing on opportunities, risks and threats created by new technologies. I have a long standing expertise on leading programs to foster cybersecurity, increase cyber resilience and promote cyberpeace. We have been working hard in making our societies more resilient. We need now to make them "anti-fragile". At the Institute, I am leading the strategic engagement in programs and initiatives leveraging multistakeholder cooperation and partnerships (with civil society, academia, corporates, philanthropy and public institutions) to strengthen cyber resilience and secure digital transformation, to reduce the harms from cyberattacks and disinformation, to anticipate the challenges posed by AI and emerging technology, and to promote sustainable cyberpeace. It is a shared responsibility.
