After studying geography, he obtained his doctorate in natural hazard prevention from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in 2014. He gained his first professional experience at the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and as a project manager for the environment, spatial planning and natural hazards at an engineering company in Valais. From 2016 to 2024, he worked for SBB Infrastructure as an environmental project manager, where his responsibilities included the major project to expand Geneva railway station underground. He joined Basler & Hofmann in 2024. As a project manager and now team leader, he brings a clear vision for strategic environmental planning, environmental compatibility and dialogue with authorities and stakeholders.

As a generalist environmental project manager, I enjoy taking on the role of coordinator. From analysing constraints to finding pragmatic solutions, I am committed to working effectively with all partners to ensure the success of the project.

I sometimes dream of opening a guest house with my partner, where I would take on the role of chef. This adventure would allow me to develop my creativity and my love of gastronomy.
