The People Behind the Work
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Curious. Rational. Slightly stubborn (in a useful way).
Do you have a mantra that guides you?
Simple: Just do it.
What advice would you give your younger university self?
Nobody really knows what they are doing at the beginning. Focus on people and business, the rest will follow.
What is the biggest challenge in your job – and what keeps you going?
The real challenge lies in breaking down complexity for clients at intense moments. Shaping uncertainty into structure and seeing early-stage ideas develop into concrete, successful transactions keeps me going.
What would surprise your colleagues about you?
Unwinding exists (sometimes): Quality time with my family and friends in Graubünden, paired with a glass of red wine and Capuns, disregarding my exploding inbox.
If you weren’t a lawyer, what would you be instead?
A craftsman. The initial lawyer. Since I’d still be channeling the same energy into building, creating, and making ideas happen, but with fewer footnotes.

I speak some Swedish.
​
If you weren’t a lawyer, what would you be instead?
A journalist with a bistro at the seaside, serving a marvelous chocolate cake.
