We are Clima Now

Swiss-born Nathalie, who has a Spanish background, was already influenced in her childhood by the social commitment of her parents, who worked in India. After graduating from the University of St. Gallen and subsequently working in consulting with PwC in London and Bain & Company and Zurich, she was employed by LGT Venture Philanthropy before founding her own consultancy, mavia, in Zurich in 2012.

The idea for Clima Now originated from her many years of cooperation with the Meili family, out of a shared desire to focus on the most important issue facing society today and to pool resources accordingly. Nathalie is the Executive Director of Clima Now.

With perseverance and passion, Corinne is committed to a sustainable society - one that enables everyone to live a good life within the planetary boundaries. A political scientist, she worked as a climate and energy policy expert at WWF Switzerland and built up a funding portfolio at the Migros Pioneer Fund in the area of sustainable business - a topic that Corinne also promotes as co-founder and co-president of the Swiss Donut Economic Network.

At Clima Now, Corinne is the Managing Director and responsible for the Policy & Advocacy strategy. She works to make future-oriented climate policy acceptable to the majority. For this, she also relies on her expertise in transformation design and systems thinking. She is convinced that now is the time to take responsibility together and shape the future with courage and foresight.

Anna graduated in 2021. She focused her Master's degree on the environment and sustainability and wrote her Master's thesis on bee mortality. Through her work as a facilitator at the Discuss it association, she has been constantly reminded of the importance of social change in order to achieve a certain goal.

Anna would like to see a world where climate protection is the first priority. When Anna is not campaigning for more biodiversity and planting flowers or plants, she spends her time exploring with Nola. Anna works as an event and project manager at Clima Now.

Claudia already worked in different media fields during her studies in Basel: as a vjane, program developer TV and journalist in print and online.

During another stint at a Swiss embassy, she realized how much decisions on one side of the world can have a global impact. She then spent the last few years working in the Swiss education sector, helping to build social media at USI University of Italian Speaking Switzerland and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, among others, and driving their outward appearance.

She is responsible for communication and the annual Spotlight call for projects with partnerships.

Nola is still in training to become an office dog. She started working in the environmental field when Anna took up her position at Clima Now. Nola loves animal documentaries, walks and snacks.

When Nola is not sleeping in Clima Now's offices, she is out exploring with Anna. Nola works as a feel-good manager at Clima Now.

From a young age, Marco was profoundly inspired by people who embrace risks and envision a brighter world. Consequently, he pursued his studies in Entrepreneurship at the Copenhagen Business School. He was astounded by the significant strides that the Nordic country had taken in climate action compared to Switzerland. Marco dedicated the following years to establishing innovative ventures for the Migros Group, with the goal of enhancing the overall quality of life in Switzerland.

He firmly believes in the transformative potential of creative destruction, where innovative solutions combined with capital, drive the societal changes necessary to safeguard our climate.

Maurin has looked for and supported various start-ups for a Swiss media company and later for the largest Swiss retailer, driving their ability to innovate. This has continuously increased his awareness of the challenges of climate change.

At Clima Now, he is keen to drive forward the financing of start-ups that have the potential to transform individual sectors or even the entire economy towards climate neutrality. Maurin is convinced that sustainable business will become an integral part of our system and that it is therefore essential to promote this change.
