Ramona Urwyler: Making women visible for boards of directors

Portrait of Ramona Urwyler - Ramona Urwyler, a hotel manager, is convinced that more women are needed on Swiss boards of directors. A further education course at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts laid the foundation for her to found an association for the promotion of women on boards of directors together with five female comrades-in-arms. Ramona Urwyler has never shied away from management tasks. As a graduate of the Hotel Management School Lucerne SHL, she was entrusted with the management of employees early in her professional career - for example, as Chef de Bar in a Lucerne restaurant, or as General Manager of a restaurant in Geelong, Australia. Something for the head. After a few years in the classic hotel business, she moved to the patient hotel business at the University Hospital Zurich as a group manager and finally in 2017 to the Zurich Schulthess Clinic, one of the leading orthopedic clinics in Switzerland. There, she now leads a team of 120 as area manager for hospitality.
