PhD Social Anthropology, 2010
What is your current role?
I am the Director of the Museum of Ethnography in Geneva.
What has been your career pathway since graduating?
A year before graduating, I moved to Barcelona, Spain, where I worked as a consultant for a company specialising in the promotion of cultural heritage in Spain and abroad between 2011 and 2015.
In 2015, I was appointed Head Curator at the Museum of Ethnography in Geneva - MEG - in Switzerland. Since 2022, I have been the Director of that Museum.
How has anthropology influenced your work?
Anthropology has always influenced the way I approach my work. It has taught me to sharpen my listening skills, to favour the collaborative process with a variety of partners and to implement negotiated solutions. I use it on a daily basis in my work in a museum dedicated to anthropology, but I've never stopped putting it into practice, even when I was a consultant in a private company.
What’s your advice for current and future anthropology students?
You can be confident in the fact that the skills you acquire in anthropology will benefit you for the rest of your life, regardless of the field in which you go on to practise your profession.
Many anthropologists today are employed in a wide range of economic sectors that go far beyond the academy or anthropology museums.
