Politics

For a Zürich that stands together – and moves forward.

Since 2022, I have been a member of The Centre Zürich 11. During this time, I have met many committed people and gained valuable insights into local political processes.

Born and raised in Zürich, this city means a lot to me – with all its opportunities, challenges and unique sense of community.

In 2024, I was elected Vice President of The Centre Zürich 11, and I am running for the Zürich City Council elections in 2026.

For many years, I worked as an IT consultant and software engineer before taking a new professional direction and moving into the insurance sector. Today, I work as an independent insurance intermediary, helping local companies identify, assess, and adequately insure their risks. This role requires understanding different perspectives and finding balanced compromises – skills I would like to bring into my political work as well.

My priorities:

• a strong and innovative Zürich business hub
• good framework conditions for the financial, insurance and digital sectors
• an attractive environment for employees – with affordable housing, efficient mobility and a high quality of life
• active exchange between business, education, associations and politics
• strengthening trust in institutions and shared rules

My vision:
Zürich should remain a city where everyone feels at home – with a dynamic economy, reliable institutions, a vibrant community and sustainable development.
