Today, having the opportunity to drive innovation from the context of the LTCC in Switzerland, with exceptional partners such as our members, is an honour and a privilege.
My goal in this role will be to consolidate all the good work that has already been done and take it to the next level by: solidifying the team, our internal competencies, and ensuring the quality of the delivery; helping drive the Association’s growth through new members and projects; and – last but not the least – facilitating the interaction and collaboration among the members.”
