Swiss community connection and/or involvement:

Since relocating to Australia, I have actively engaged with Swiss-Australian networks to foster cultural exchange. I am a member of the Swiss Club in Perth and actively participate in its events, strengthening connections within the community. Additionally, I am a member of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce.

Profile/Motivation:

I bring over a decade of experience in law enforcement, having served as a Senior Detective in the Zurich City Police Drug Squad, where I managed complex investigations and international collaborations. Prior to my police career, I served in the Swiss Army as a Sergeant Major and instructor, where I honed my leadership, training, and organisational skills. In Australia, I have transitioned into private security and founded Turicum Security Pty Ltd.

Currently, I am pursuing an MBA in International Business at Edith Cowan University, which enhances my understanding of global markets and cross-cultural dynamics.

My interest in geopolitics and global policy trends informs my efforts to address issues affecting Swiss citizens abroad.
