I graduated from the EPFL with a diploma in applied mathematics. My first job was in IT, I worked at ELCA for various customers (SBB, Nestle, etc.), managing projects and developing mainly in C. Between 1998 and 2023, I worked for two local governments, managing IT contracts for canton of Vaud, then in charge of IT for the town of Nyon. This experience allowed me to understand how local authorities work from the inside. From 2014, I started organizing climate demonstrations in Geneva, because the climate problem clearly needed citizen involvement to progress. In 2019, I became Co-president of the Swiss Climate Alliance, and started work on the project "Local climate rating", which later became OK climate. In 2023 I left my job at Nyon to work on the data collection for the OK climate project.
