Women in Digital Switzerland first appeared on LinkedIn in 2013 and due to its growing success and commitment of its members, the association was founded in 2016 by Taïssa Charlier, Kelly Hungerford and Natacha Gajdoczki and today is led by Karen Bhavnani and her executive team.
Local chapter events led by volunteers are currently organized in Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, Zurich, Ticino and St Gallen. And we are asked this quite often! - yes, men are welcome to join our meetups and initiatives too!
Who we are
Upcoming events
Our purpose is to encourage thought-provoking dialogue, learnings, connections, and sharing of best practices within our open and welcoming community.
