​
She has a thorough knowledge of how companies operate and the social, economic and legal constraints under which they operate.

Patricia draws on her extensive experience to inspire people to increase their effectiveness through personal development. In specific situations such as recovery or post-crisis management, she also coaches teams to improve collective performance.
She is fluent in French and English. She is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and has clients, individuals and companies throughout Europe.
