About me

I partner with founders and investors when decisions are complex, stakes are high, and clarity matters.

Hi ! I’m Claudine, I’ve always been drawn to how value is created, scaled, and sustained.

I grew up in a multicultural family with long-standing roots in entrepreneurship, finance, and art. I began in Life Science Engineering to understand how technology is built, then moved into Economics, Finance & Strategy at Imperial College London to understand how value is structured, financed, and grown. The shift wasn’t a departure from tech, it was a decision to see the system holistically.

I started my career in Private Equity and M&A, during which I supported company growth through organic strategy execution and inorganic expansion initiatives, including M&A due diligence and startup portfolio management. I was eager to learn how investors evaluate companies, how capital shapes strategy, and how growth happens both organically and through acquisition. Working on due diligence and portfolio management gave me pattern recognition across industries, business models, and leadership teams.

But analyzing growth wasn’t enough. I wanted to build it.

So, I joined a startup at a pre-seed stage to help on the financial and commercial activities with the clear objective in mind of reaching Series A.

As director of Strategy & Business, I built and executed the commercial engine and its operations, crafting a vertical and geography-specific GTM strategy, scaled revenue 6x folds, landed and nurtured enterprise clients with 40,000+ employees, implemented customer intelligence systems to drive adoption, and kept operations lean through structured systems.

The intention was simple: understand capital allocation from the investor side, then translate it into disciplined execution from the operator side. Turns out, only when you work operationally in a company, you get to see what it’s like to keep company goals as the northern star, while managing intra- and cross-department projects, all the while keeping operations running smoothly under pressure.

Today, based in Zürich, the AI HUB of Switzerland, I bring both perspectives to founders and investors in the tech space. Living in Switzerland means being comfortable with scaling customer-centric growth in complex regulated environments, working with AI-driven companies across HealthTech, FinTech and DeepTech.

From an early age, I was exposed to both analytical rigor and creative expression, shaping a worldview where business is thinking out of the box and strong ownership, but realizing that business is never just transactional, it is driven by human, culture, and value.
