About me
With over 20 years of experience, I am a Networking Expert, Consultant and Coach and committed to empowering individuals and organizations through strategic and authentic connections. I lead conferences and interactive workshops, sharing practical tools and insights that turn networking into a meaningful, accessible, and enjoyable experience for people of all backgrounds and experience levels.
Originally from Brazil and now based in Geneva, I built my own network from scratch after arriving with no family, no friends, no contacts and no community support. Today, I am Co-President of the Executive & PA Network, a community of over 200 members who come together for regular networking events, and support Executive & Personal Assistants. I also sit on the Board of the Careers Women Forum (CWF), where I help create spaces for women to grow their careers, strengthen their professional networks, and support one another.
My journey from professional dancer to Assistant to the Cruise Director at MSC shaped my stage presence and communication style, and it taught me how to engage audiences from all over the world.
Fluent in five languages and at ease in multicultural environments, I help professionals elevate their relationships, expand their opportunities, and connect with confidence and purpose. If you are ready to strengthen your network and unlock new professional opportunities, let's connect!
The richest people in the world look for and build networks;
everyone else looks for work.

Caroline is a communication strategist who blends UX thinking, strategy and human connection. She never creates content just to be seen: she gets to know the audience and turns ideas into stories that truly resonate.
Curious and collaborative, she is not afraid to challenge ideas or ask the questions that make them stronger. She brings structure and clarity to every conversation, which makes her a trusted thought partner.
Beyond her work, Caroline loves bringing people together through design communities and creative initiatives. She believes genuine conversations open doors, spark ideas and build meaningful communities.
Zain is the technology architect behind FUNdamental Networking. From the website and CRM automation to data pipelines and AI workflows, he builds the systems that keep the business running smoothly.
His experience includes international organisations such as IATA and CERN. What began as a technology audit for FUNdamental Networking quickly grew into an ongoing partnership, with Zain driving its technical infrastructure.
His philosophy: the best technology empowers people without demanding their attention. Off the clock, you will find him karting, snowboarding, watching Formula 1 or shooting film on cameras that are, in his words, “very, very old.”
David is the self-taught Graphic and Web Designer behind FUNdamental Networking’s visuals. What began with drawing as a teenager grew into a real mastery of design tools and visual storytelling.
His work spans presentations, flyers, banners, business cards and this website. Curious and always exploring fresh ideas, he finds new ways to strengthen connection and engagement.
David believes great visuals capture attention and bring people closer to a message. With his creative instinct, he helps FUNdamental Networking express an identity that feels vibrant, authentic and connected.
Christine is the founder of ChrisOfficeInternational, an administrative partner for small businesses in the Geneva area. Working in four languages, she brings clarity and structure to invoicing and admin systems.
Since meeting through the Executive & PA Network in 2025, she has been structuring FUNdamental Networking’s document management, with mailbox organisation and AI settings next on her list.
For Christine, administration is a performance lever, not a cost. After ten years as a Maître de Cabine with Swiss International Air Lines, she knows that order is a form of respect.

Gabi has lived in eight cities across four countries over the past six years and recently landed in Switzerland, hoping this one is her final destination. From lawyer to events coordinator to hospitality manager, her career has taken unexpected turns, but her love for connecting people has never changed.
Now she brings her expat-on-the-move energy to the FUNdamental Networking team, scouting events and creating content to help people navigate networking in a new city, a new country, or a place where they’ve worked for years but still feel overlooked.
Living abroad has taught her that building a life somewhere new takes community and a sense of belonging. And sometimes, finding your people and the right opportunities starts with showing up in the right room.
