Our Team
Diverse, committed, dynamic and global – this is how we like to describe our team. Our core team consists of 8 professionals based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and 2 abroad. In addition, we have 3 associated experts to complement our team in specific thematic fields as well as 5 administrative support specialists. Together, we work as connectors, enablers and facilitators of change. We work with 15 regional coordinators in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Ukraine. Each country representative oversees a team ranging from 5 to 50 employees.
